Fwd: Booting USB Flash

Hello Martin,

    > (VIA EPIA M10000> > board, 1 GHz C3 "Nehemiah") from
    > USB flash drives with the install images for NetBSD/
    > i386 7.2 and 8.0.  Neither worked.  The machine was

  MH> No special known issuses. How did it fail?

    It didn't boot from the flash drive. No boot loader or
NetBSD messages, it just booted from an old image on the
hard disk drive.  The CMOS is set to boot from USB first,
hard disk if that fails.  Linux booted from USB.

Thanks,
