If the USB is available to Grub you should be able to boot from it like
with any other storage device. If this is a Debian machine insert the
USB stick and run 'update-grub' as root. If everything works fine you
should have a new entry in the Grub menu with the USB stick "OS".
If you can't boot it please try to reproduce any error messages as
faithfully as possible and copy-paste the relevant part from
/boot/grub/grub.cfg, somewhere between the
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
### END /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober ###
markers. If in doubt just attach the whole file.
Kind regards,
Andrei

Updated grub and booted from CD. Clean Boot. See my eml re: No Video for more details.
