FS#346 - USB boot from installed Grub

Could be nice to boot from USB devices for computers that can’t boot from USB (bios) (and that doesn’t has a CDROM), for that, could be needed to boot a grub, this grub should load the kernel and the initrd (the kernel include the drivers needed for the USB’s), and then the initrd (eli) will list all the devices so the user select his USB to boot from

This is very nice to have for computers that can’t boot USB’s (or doesn’t has cdrom), and a easy way to upgrade to newest elive versions

More info or scripts can be available in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=992426

Update: This feature actually exists (tested and working), just add the parameters boot=eli changedevice to your grub and you are able to boot from the USB :) (only a Elive system, so it scans for it)
