It seems that due to non standard coding practices from bios and moterboard programmers there is no true single method to boot successfully from usb on all PC's.
The trick of copying the menuet floppy image to your flash stick does work if your motherboard supports booting with floppy disk usb emulation, the only downside is you only get to use 1.45mb of your entire flash memory, then rest is wasted (unless u can get it to partition). You may also be able to read and write to the usb flash from within menuet which is handy for saving your work within menuet with this method.
If your motherboard bios supports HDD usb emulation then you may try the code i wrote in the previous link and it may work for you. Using that method you do not restrict the size of your usb drive. The downside here is that after you boot into the OS you no longer have access to the flash drive because harddrive read/writes in the kernel are not done through the bios. Another downside with this method is that as of the release date of the code, the official version of menuet no longer supported the option to boot to a previously loaded kernel image so this method is unusable for the official version of menuet, but luckly Kolibri does support booting from previously loaded image so you may need to use it instead.
The code by me in the previous link was written specifically for my Gateway laptop since it has no floppy drive and will only boot usb using harddrive emulation. If you try it and it works for you then let me know.
