Have you double checked your BIOS to make sure you have the boot order set up properly? You may also need to create a special initrd image for lilo to load the USB storage drivers from...

A google search for how to boot Linux from a USB device might also help...

I don't know the answer off the top of my head and would have to research it just like you would. It might take you a bit longer to do the research but I also figure that since it's your system, you should be more than a bit more interested in making this work than I am. I.e. - solving for 'X' in the equation below would yield a number substantially larger than 1.

X = (Interest_in_outcome_tntrung / Interest_in_outcome_tjc) / (Research_time_tntrung / Research_time_tjc)
