You should have an option in the BIOS if USB boot devices are supported. Simply make the first boot device the appropriate USB designation, and it should work.

Either your system's BIOS supports booting from USB CDROMs or it doesn't. No tricks.

The general rules of how a bootable CD media must look like apply just the same.
