Booting via USB isn’t officially supported, so your mileage may vary. I never could get it working on my G4 Cube (which has a dead CD drive). I ended up doing TFTP/NFS network booting which is officially supported.

You need to use  some command in openfirmware to but the usb drive. Also you can prepare de image in the disk drive too.
