If you cant boot that way just type in multi-boot, and select your usb disk, them proceed the install, it takes up to an hour depending on your system, move the mouse time to time to refresh the progress. Good luck.
Thanks for the positive responses I was wondering what kind of community this was going to be after that warm welcome I got. I'm glad to help. I spent more time than you could imagine just trying to figure out how to boot from USB in open firmware and everywhere that said how to do it was unclear and had a bunch of obviously unnecessary steps. This method worked great and was a huge sigh of relief and hopefully helps anyone else in the same situation.
Oh and I can't wait to get that new iPad. T
This also inspired me to spend more time learning about Terminal
Good luck to anyone else and thanks for the nice welcome you guys
