If the USB device is bootable, it should automatically prefer that to loading grub from the hard disk.

 

Make sure you're not using a huge device like 32gb that might not be supported by older 3900 hardware. I can't tell you exactly what it wouldn't support as I don't have that information readily available.

 

How did you create the bootable USB device - did you follow SOL13164 ?
