Installing Debian from USB pen drive

If you have a single hard drive, the USB drive root partition will be (hd1,1). That is the drive to add to Grub menu on the hard drive to boot the USB drive. If the BIOS does not recognize the USB drive on setup (my Dell Optiplex does not), then it does not matter, and you can not boot to a USB drive anyway.

So, surely there is some way to interrupt the setup to get a DOS prompt so I can edit the BOOT.INI to boot off the USB drive, but I do not know what it is. I would rather not replace the broken internal optical drive just to escape from this install bug. Any help would be appreciated.
