Yes and yes.

You can do this manually as well if you prefer.

The BIOS usually maps the USB devices first. Thus it should be HD0.

Not too many BIOS boot from USB HDs. I recently read about a trick
using special, fake C/H/S settings to make the BIOS think it's a USB
Zip. Manipulated in such a way it should boot with more BIOSes
(even HP appears to provide a Windows tool to tweak the stick
accordingly!).

Injecting those README notes from syslinux into the iso2stick script
is on my TODO. If someone else does it sooner the patch is welcome :-)

Yours,
