Great news, as always! 
Always a pleasure to read about continued progress.
I particularly noted the merging of support of USB Floppy Drives into the USB Mass Storage driver and eventual implementation of the SCSI Stack. Would this be a stepping stone toward supporting booting from USB Optical Drives?

I think @kallisti5 said he’s booted successfully from a USB optical drive before. So, it likely depends on your specific model of optical drive.

Maybe, maybe not.
See ticket regarding bfs volume not found (https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/14090) and puzzling comment by vidrep -
I have a similar issue here. When my HP USB CD-ROM is connected to my notebook it KDL’s with a no bootable bfs volume found. However, the same drive with same Haiku CD connected to a USB port on my desktop boots to the installer OK. I’ll investigate further, and post syslogs for each scenario.
which would indicate that the issue is more related to the system than the optical drive.
