While you can boot from the USB Key, install from the usb key is not
supported directly under anacoda. What you might need to do is ( if you
have a 2.5 gig USB Key ), copy the install media onto the usb key, and
then manually mount that under /mnt/sources at the right time.

you need to get the diskboot.img file from the /images directory on CD1
( or on mirror.centos.org/centos/4/os/<arch>/images/ ) and copy that
onto the key ( eg. dd if=diskboot.img of=/dev/sdc ). reboot the machine,
select boot from usb in the BIOS. And you are done.
