Hi,

sorry for stirring any hopes but I meant that in a more general sense.
In general coreboot (together with seabios) would allow any computer
(with a support USB controller) to boot from USB. The hard part is to
get coreboot on to a board first ;)
That all won't help you, but I wanted to make clear that the firmware
vendor is to blame and not the hardware.
