<p>Thanks for your input. This is the first time in 10 years that
I encountered a board that won't boot fom usb. It's especially
strange since you didn't have the issue with this board. Wht
capacity usb stick did you use? The two sticks i've used are 64
and 32GB. I have some 8GB micro sd cards. I'll install
multisystem on one, and try it. thanks<br>
