What's with the "WE had to create a BIOS for it to support an SD card"?! What BS! AFAIK, /my/ XO is running the LinuxBIOS, and it accesses the SD card just fine. I've never seen that Insdyne screen before - I assume that's their SpecialBIOS(tm) that let's them access an SD card. I guess they really don't want that pesky upstart FOSS BIOS on THEIR laptop.

I also noticed he seems to have to press a bunch of keys a few times during the boot. Once sequence looks like <Ctrl-Alt-Del> which is consistent with the on-screen dialog box that says "Press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to Begin".

So, what's the flaw you found. I give up.
