Becoming anecdotal now, but my fairly old computer has a (BIOS) bug which brakes booting from USB devices. It hangs when it boots with a USB stick in it. With the bootonly ISO I upgraded it from 9.3-PRERELEASE to 11-BETA1. By just copying /boot/kernel from the CD to the harddisk. :-) I know I have to do more for a proper upgrade, but the ZFS version on disk was to new for the 9.3 kernel, by a human mistake.
