I don't think you can make it bootable, the Pi has to boot from the SD card as I understand it.

Yes the RPi boots from SD Card only: http://wiki.beyondlogic.org/index.php?t ... ot_Process

Though you can load the Operating System itself from a USB drive, please of threads in this forum

What filesystem format does your USB stick have, because FAT, vFAT or ExFAT get mounted with noexec by default (for security reasons).

Auto-running is a Really Bad Thing™ that has been used as an infection vector for getting viruses on Windows machines for may years.

Why do you think you want or need auto-run?
