Sorry for top posting - I'm stuck on my phone.
I successfully installed FreeBSD on my Lenovo Ideapad before the memstick image was available by pulling the circuitry guts out of a USB HD and hooking it to a standard internal IDE CD-ROM. Wasn't pretty, but it worked.
Best avoiding Ideapads generally though because of ACPI issues.

I think they all pretty much follow the same standard. I've even had
success using an IDE CD-ROM drive plugged into a USB-to-IDE adapter
cable, before.
