The current bios allows booting from usb-hard drive, floppy, cdrom, zip, 
all which are external drives. This desktop was mfg before usb memory 
sticks can on the market. So the desktop does not have support for 
booting from usb memory stick. Freebsd 7.0 can find and use the usb 
memory stick for writing and reading data.

Just need to update bios containing option to boot from usb memory stick.
