I am looking to see if it is possible for Boch's PC BIOS to boot a program off a USB stick. Specifically want to know if Boch's PCBIOS will be able to support INT13h to read in data from the USB stick.
Also, will the PCBIOS have to support USB or can it use the host OS capabilities to read info from the USB stick ?

Bochs currently has no support for USB mass storage devices. It can only boot from the first floppy, first cdrom or first hard drive. We can think about USB stuff in the BIOS when there is emulated hardware it can use.
On the other side there is currently no support to access USB hardware connected to the host.

USB mass storage devices are emulated by Bochs. Please see our docs for how to
connect a disk image to an USB port. The Bochs BIOS does not yet have support
for booting from USB, but Bochs from SVN is now able to use SeaBIOS.

There seems to be support for USB in 2.4.6. Does this support include USB mass
storage devices? What is required to add support for booting from USB?
