Gereon,
Here is an extended thread about making bootable USB keys.
http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?s=957440dc39bfb1efb9d7a84270d42610&showtopic=26612&st=0
The thing to note is that if your device is not USB 2.0, you will not
have any luck, since USB 1.1 resets the bus (And thus the connections
to your boot device) each time it detects a new device on the bus. This
causes boot errors that cannot be recovered from.
I also noticed that there is one person saying that booting from USB
key will be one of the supported features in Windows Server 2003 SP1,
which is in Release Candidate 1 phase right now.
Good luck, and keep us posted.
