Yes! It is completely possible.

Ever needed to boot to a USB Flash/Thumb drive and the Bios just dosen’t support?

Well, now it no longer matters. You can now boot to USB, even on the oldest servers and worksations using a boot loader that fits on a CD, Floppy, Hard Disk and more!

I am speaking of “Plop”, a free available bootloader allowing you to boot to interfaces that are unsupported by the bios!

I came across this wonderful when looking for a way to load OS’s onto older servers that do not support booting to a USB drive and they don’t have a internal dvd-rom. I used the ISO and burned the bootable CD-Rom and it worked perfectly.
