via nano support - booting amd64 from usb

[George Hartzell]

Here's an image that I dd'ed off of a 1GB PQI usb stick.  It's a
relatively recent -CURRENT.  I checked, and it boots on my Via VB8001.

You should be able to dd it on to a stick and get going.

I've had mixed results trying to boot off of various usb flash drives.
Seems like maybe there are different flavors or something....  If one
doesn't work, try another?
