USB booting could be very tricky. I am not sure if it will work specifically with UDB-FDD, but I've found that the way that works with most bios is to have a very small bootable partition on the pen drive (<200MB). You cold do this with cfdisk; cfdisk -z /dev/sda. I usually use the rest of the drive for storage. So, there will be, for example sda1 and sda2, both set up with a dos partition in cfdisk.
Here is a copy of the script I use after that:
mkdosfs /dev/sda1
sleep 3
mkdosfs /dev/sda2
sleep 3
ms-sys -s /dev/sda
sleep 3
#mount -t vfat /dev/sda2 /mnt/sda2
#unzip dsl-X.XX-embedded.zip -d /mnt/sda2/
mount /dev/sda1
sleep 3
unzip dsl-4.4-embedded.zip -d /mnt/sda1/
sleep 3
syslinux -s /dev/sda1
While this setup has the drawback of having a second which isn't accesible via windows, I've found that it works on more computers than the standard DSL USB install. Maybe give it a shot?
