Works for me on my ibook with the chooser.  On a G5 I've just tested the
chooser didn't find it.  I know at least one other person was able to do
it

In OF can you do

devalias - note down your usb devices, then for each usb device (eg
usb1, usb2) try doing:

dir usb1/disk at 1,1:\

you should be able to boot using

boot usb1/disk at 1
