I don't think Thomas Schmitt was quite saying you cannot boot from USB using boot.img.gz but querying why you should want to. Isohybrid images were introduced to Debian in 2011. Prior to that, boot.img.gz was one method to boot a netinst image from USB on a machine which did not have a CD drive (say). There is no call for this method unless an isohybrid image is not available or it doesn't work. You really should say what you are trying to achieve. -- Brian.
