Boot CD to Boot from USB

Is there a boot CD or a way to make a boot CD that will boot up the OS on a USB Flash drive on BIOSes that do not support booting up from USB devices?

Re: Boot CD to Boot from USB

Will it work with any OS on the Flash drive, or do I have to install FaunOS to it, too?
(If it is the latter, I wouldn't be able to do that -- some of the comps I get stuck using only have 256 megabytes of RAM.)

Nope.  It didn't work like that.
