Booting Asus EEEPC 111 HA from USB

[Tim Cross]

Hi David,

I recently installed ubuntu remix on an asus and initially had a similar
issue. What I had to do was enter bios setup with f2, select the boot section
of the bios, enable the usb stick as a second drive and set the boot order to
use that drive to boot from before the built-in asus hard drive. Then save
your changes and exit the bios. You may need to then reboot and the system
should boot from the usb stick. If it still fails, you may want to try and
verify the usb stick is correctly setup with a boot image.
