Can you change the boot order in BIOS ?
I have installed M1 on an EeePC, with MSW on the bult-in HD and M1 on a SD;
just reassigned the HD order and the boot order, and all is well, boots from
the SD and offers me the choices.
The only complication is when I change SD to install and try out another OS, I
then have to remember to reset the HD and boot order in the BIOS or it
directly boots Windows from the HD ;-3(.
Cheers,
Ron.

I love standards; there are so many to choose from.
