I've successfully run kickstart from USB keys with EL4. Haven't tried EL3, but
it was fairly straightforward ...

I made an disk image file the same way one would make a cramfs image file,
making sure to put 'ldlinux.sys' (install the syslinux RPM on your build
machine) on it. From there, it was easy enough to just dump it to /dev/sda (my
USB key) using 'dd'.

If EL3 makes sure to preload its drivers properly, I think the process should
be fairly straightforward.

I can privately pass along some of the build steps I use to make it go, if
you're interested.
