Here's my experience booting from usb on a NewWorld Mac. On my pismo about 6 years ago, my dvd drive went out. Then I somehow broke my OSX install, I don't remember how. I was not able to use an external USB cd rom to boot into OSX. (Probably Panther or Tiger). I was however able to boot into OS9 and install it. That's my two cents on the issue.
