I would actually rather change the boot loader in this regard a bit,
and (if possible) make it realize it has been booted from USB (this
should be easily possible with BIOS conforming to some standards), and
then automatically boot the USB drivers.
Of course, this might work as reliable as to always put them in, which
we probably should do for now before we experiment with a different
approach.
