Grin... Yup, the boot prompt just needs to have the method= or repo=
passed, in the simple case of a single hard drive and the usb key would
be method=hd:sdb1:/iso with the lang= and keyboard= options set also as
not to stop at the stage1 questions. Should be able to use a kickstart
file for that and just pass ks= at the boot prompt. I just didn't add
that into the default boot config, as the usbkey may not always be
present to anaconda as "sdb" if there is more than one harddrive ;-/
Quick edit though, just add that to the boot args in syslinux.cfg.
