Thanks for your reply.  Given what you said, I guess it's kind of academic whether or not I can run the i386 installer from a thumb drive.   I appreciate you've kept my old hardware usable for this long anyway.   
Still just for kicks, I tried booting the same hardware with the amd64 version - it got well past the boot loader screen before complaining about the CPU.  By contrast, the I386 version didn't even make it to the boot loader.  Hmm....
I guess we'll never know why.   Oh well...  I'm just going to dig up some slightly newer old hardware to get ready for 20.7 

Thanks Again!

Sorry to bother, but it definitely has that problem for the i386 version of the img files (both 20.1 and 19.7).  The amd64 version works fine however.  Are only a couple of people are trying to use such antiquated hardware as I am?   While having a fully functional version for I386 systems is truly excellent, it seems the price to pay is using a DVD instead of a thumb drive.  Really not complaining,  but just FYI...
