I'm not finding any mention of > memstick in the Handbook. You want USB (assuming you did put the image on an actual memstick and not a CD or some other such oddity), but you may have tried that and had the some problem I was. I just did a memstick install yesterday and it wouldn't let me select USB as the install media, it said not found or something, but stumbled on the simple fix: When it comes time to select the media, go to the 'View/Set various installation options' screen instead. Press up-arrow a couple times to get to 'Re-scan devices' and press the space bar. In my case, it happens so quick that it doesn't look like anything actually happens, but it did really do something. Press Q to go back to the install menu, and go ahead to 'Media' and pick USB. It should then say 'Using USB device: da0a'. HTH, Brian
