@ radiogen:
I think in some machines, the BIOS screen for boot order will not show a removable drive as an option unless the media (USB stick, memory card) is actually inserted. Try installing to an SD card, plugging that in, then reboot and access the BIOS setup. Does the boot-order option now show an extra device that might be the SD card drive? If so, that would be the device name to put into your grub menu configuration (menu.lst or equivalent).
