On multiple computers, known to boot other USB devices? Some machines
just don't handle booting from USB very well. I know that a simple dd
of diskboot.img produces a flash device which will boot on several
machines I have around. Likewise, the same device won't boot on a
couple of machines; these don't seem to properly handle a USB floppy,
either.

well these are pretty new machines and BIOS even sees the flash stick and
its selectable as one of the pull downs of the HDD prioritys
