It's more a matter of your BIOS. If it will boot off the drive then what exactly you boot from it is a secondary concern.

Is this an USB drive or something more fanciful? Intructions for installing on USB media should work for a real hard drive just as well as for a flash stick (except of course you don't care too much about saving space).
