    I don't see any boot from USB option..

    The options are- Disk, HDD, CDROM, Modular Bay HDD,
    and a bunch of options involving NICs.

    Yep, I'm pretty sure nothing older than the D600 supports booting from USB. I don't know of any exotic adapters that'd let you do it either.

    Pretty much the only way that would work would be to boot to a floppy or CD with the USB drivers on it. WinPE or BartPE might work too depending on what you are trying to do with it.
