I used the AMD64 MemStick image on a Corsair 2GB key. It's one I had
lying around and that wasn't 8x larger than the image.

It did for me - I never had an intention of putting an optical drive
in that server (none of my servers have opticals any more). Nothing
strange in the BIOS - just the normal boot options. IME these things
are finally getting to the "just works" stage. Thankfully!
