You can install it.. but as far as I can tell, you won't be able to boot
into it unless you tweak the initrd

This concept works. I've gotten it to work. As mentioned, you need to
get the initrd to load up the usb modules and you're all set.

Thanks for the response. It would be decent to have a ready-made setup
that works without a lot of tweaking. But since this is a hobby, I'll
learn in the process when attempting to get the usb drive to boot up.
I did chroot to the usb installation and do some tinkering with the USB
installation, but that was all that I tried so far. The chrooted
environment was educational and I learned some processes that Linux has,
so it wasn't a total loss.
Thanks,
Jim
