Hi John, My guess is the Qotom Q550 BIOS does not default to prefer USB booting, the internal SATA has priority. I have a "Qotom Q530G6" and in the docs: https://doc.astlinux-project.org/userdoc:board_qotom_q530g6 -- Tip → If you need to choose the boot drive, for example when booting the ISO Installer via a USB drive, on startup (quickly) press the F11 key. -- I seem to recall that worked. To further test, I download the 1.3.4 ISO (Generic x86-64bit (Serial Console): since I tested on an PC Engines APU2), used 'os-x-cf-write' to install it on a SanDisk USB drive, powered down and then booted with the USB drive installed ... it immediately booted off the ISO USB drive as I know the APU2 prefers USB by default.
