This is what I tried following.
The BootDrive was already set right ("81 first"):

= 81 80 F0 FF
... I dd'ed the image to a nice and shiny 8G USB stick (the "20 years
RIPE NCC" stick, incidentially), put it into the front USB port, and
powercycled the box.
It can *see* the USB stick...

(the "81: USB 01..." line is not there when the stick is not in), even

It does not want to boot from it, though...
