Boot from USB Floppy for Netier?

New MessageBoot from USB Floppy for Netier? (modified 0 times) kNiTe_oWl

I finally dug up my old Netier again and thought to myself that if I were able to boot from a USB floppy, I would be able to do so much more without taking the thing appart. Anyone know what I need to edit with the Bios to get it to boot from USB. I don't mean in the bios, I know that the current version does not support that. I want to edit the bios itself and add this function into it, then flash with the new edited bios and give it a try. Here is my though, let me know if it seems correct.

Save BIOS out
Download a new Award Bios with usb boot support, could be for any MB
Extract the USB Boot stuff from the new bios
Insert the USB Boot stuff into the Netier bios
Flash Netier with modified bios

Does this sound reasonable, and does anyone know what the USB Boot stuff is called in the bios so I can find it?
