I just tried boot.iso again (using the file from
<http://mirror.highspeedweb.net/CentOS/5.5/os/i386/images/>:
-----------------------------------
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdb1   *        2048     3908351     1953152   83  Linux
[tim@blanche Downloads]$ sudo livecd-iso-to-disk boot.iso /dev/sdb1
Verifying image...

The media check is complete, the result is: NA.

No checksum information available, unable to verify media.
Are you SURE you want to continue?
Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort

/home/tim/Downloads/boot.iso uses initrd.img w/o install.img
Copying DVD image to USB stick
Updating boot config file
Installing boot loader
USB stick set up as live image!
-----------------------------------

However, the HP microserver did not boot with this USB stick -
or rather, it booted but only showed "-" on the screen.
