Haven't tried 5.3, but 6.0 beta2 works fine as long as your mobo supports booting from usbcd - the tyan should do it. in my case 4.9 + 5.4 find the USB drive, but they panic on boot - but it doesnt relate to the usb cd, same happens if I install on a HD in another box and then boot from the HD....another story altogether...gentoo will take over that box methinks.
