I dont think its mentioned in the wiki, but when booting via USB power
you need to use the USB cable supplied with the openmoko.

If you have another USB cable it wont supply enough power to allow it
to boot, USB cables have some sort of id built in which is required to
allow a higher current than the USB spec specifies to be supplied.

With the USB cable supplied it should be able to boot without the
battery.
