Step 1:
Insert the OS X installation DVD and plugin the USB Drive.
Step 2:
Open Disk Utility, under /Applications/Utilities.
Step 3:
Drag the “Mac OS X Install DVD” to the “Source” field
and the formated partition on your USB drive to “Destination”.
Do not drag the volumes or devices that state the size of the disk, it won’t work.
Step 4:
Click “Restore”.
You’re done.
I’m not sure if this speeds up the installation but it sure should. Whether it does or does this process still helps.





i'm having the same problem.
were you able to fix this?
I hypothesize that it has to to with USB vs. FireWire.

Your USB drive is now bootable.
Insert your newly formatted drive into any USB-bootable mainboard, reboot, and select the USB drive as the first boot device. You will be brought to a Windows 98 MS-DOS prompt. From here you can update your BIOS, make system disk fixes, etc.
