todd, you may be beyond this but just in case... god I'm full! People keep bringing more food...
Sorry... Anyway...
The location of the settings can vary by BIOS. Phoenix's main screen gives you the usual top left menu as "Std settings". The next down will be "Advanced settings". Somewhere in there you should have a "Boot Sequence" item. It may have multiple options in itself, or lead to another screen. Follow it and look for "First, second, third, other" boot devices. Each should allow you to choose HD0..n, floppy, CD, etc... and USB devices.
Also, check the BIOS for the supported USB level. I've seen some MB's not allow booting from USB if they only had USB1.1 enabled. If you have to add USB 2.0, the change won't be reflected in the boot order options until the next reboot. Save the settings, reset, and then go back into setup to modify the boot order.
Sometimes the USB options are buried as a SCSI option. Enable SCSI, save, reset, and see if USB devices appear in other boot options.
If your MB is more than a couple years old you may not have USB as an option, though a newer BIOS flash may provide it. If it's old check with the manufacturer's site for updates.
