What I did successfully a few months ago was:
- format normally the USB stick
- copy the boot floppy image and tgz sets there
- installed grub on the stick
- chainloaded the floppy image and go

I had a few issues doing that, but I can't remember what I did and when
to solve them.

Hope this helps,
