It is possible to use a flash-memory USB key to boot your system in order to
kickstart it. Refer to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide
(available at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/) for tips on how to
do this. Note that your host system's hardware must support boot via these
devices.

as the primary boot device in the system's' BIOS.
