I've long assumed, but not tried it, that one can put a standard boot 
sector (LILO, MSDOS or Grub) on a USB disk with every prospect of 
success and good fortune.

I can't see why one would need to be different from, say, a laptop drive 
in a USB enclosure, and I've seen a mate boot linux from one of those.
