freebsd stable - Sep 2003 - Booting a 4.9 Beta CD on a USB CD/RW?

Can anyone give me some pointers about how to boot a 4.9 Beta CD on a USB 
CD/RW?  Or, at the very least, tell me that it doesn't work and that I 
should quit trying.

I get the 2.88 MB floppy message and then the boot fails with the 
messages "Not ufs", "No /boot/loader" and "No
/kernel".

This same CD boots fine in a standard ATA interface CD/RW.

Even more annoyingly, a RedHat 9.0 CD boots fine from my USB CD/RW.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks,

This involves having BIOS support to boot USB, and Int13 emulation of USB
I/O so loader can do its work. Looks like your system doesn't provide
this.
