Thx Chris,

Well.. that would be an option; I was just hoping for a simpler one
[as far as hardware].. it's not like I cannot just install from cd or
setup a network install server, but.. I wanted to know if there are
any tricks for USB.. it really seems like the OS is needed... oh! I
just had an idea.. I wonder if once I startup from CD then maybe it
will let me choose dvd media for install.....

Well, we'll see...

If anyone has any info as to actually booting usb device from obp, let
me know Elese I'll just consider that SUN cannot do it... hmm...

Thx.
