Booting off irrelevant boot devices is not going to help the OP.
The OP has, I assumed, downloaded a ISO and installed it on a USB drive; and the OP wants to boot off of that drive, for example.
The OP is not having a problem booting their machine, it seems to me.
They are having a problem getting the machine to boot off newly created media, in this case a USB stick and something else (sorry, I did not look back at the original post).
I don't think booting off other devices is going to help the OP, at all; since booting the machine is not the problem. The problem is booking off some newly created media the OP created from an ISO file.
That is how the OP reads to me.
Isn't that correct?

bootparamd
BOOTPARAMD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BOOTPARAMD(8)
NAME
bootparamd -- boot parameter server
SYNOPSIS
bootparamd [-ds] [-r router] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
The bootparamd utility is a server process that provides information to diskless(8) clients necessary for booting. It consults the
/etc/bootparams file.
This version will allow the use of aliases on the hostname in the /etc/bootparams file. The returned hostname to the whoami request done by
the booting client will be the name that appears in /etc/bootparams and not the canonical name. In this way you can keep the answer short
enough so that machines that cannot handle long hostnames will not fail during boot.
OPTIONS
-d Display the debugging information.
-s Log the debugging information with syslog(3).
-r router The default router (a machine or an IP-address). This defaults to the machine running the server.
-f file The file to use as boot parameter file instead of /etc/bootparams.
FILES
/etc/bootparams default boot parameter file
EXAMPLES
When netbooting diskless SunOS/Xkernel SPARCstations the booted SunOS kernel also broadcasts to the all-0 address. The SunOS kernel hangs
until it receives a reply. To accommodate this behaviour add an alias address that responds to an all-0 broadcast. So, add something like
'ifconfig xl0 192.168.200.254 netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 192.168.200.0 alias' on the relevant network interface on your bootparamd
server. The alias address must of course be free for use.

BUGS
You may find the syslog(3) loggings to be verbose.
