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. LOL

Regards,
Ronald.
