If you are referring to thumbdrives, I formatted it as I would a normal 
hard drive. The key is will your BIOS boot from a usb-hdd. I tried for 
DOS and it worked alright, as long as I stay clear of disk defragmenting.
I had a linux installation boot up to a point, then it died once the OS 
took control. You would most likely need to add the usb drivers into 
your intird for your kernel.
