    Hello people, i have a asus F3JP and was planing to boot an OS installed to a SD card, i know i can boot to a usb flash drive... but it would be nicer if we were able to boot to the SD card. Is there a way of doing it?

    For some reason only Eee PCs can boot off of the SD card, as far as I know. It may be because their SD card readers are USB instead of PCI.

    If you press ESC as you turn the machine on, you will get a boot menu and it would show up there.

    Hey! Unfortunately it doesn't =( ... is this a bios or hardware limitation?! Maybe a little bios "mod" could fix this no?
