Good thought on the SD card. I should receive the Foxconn box tomorrow and I will search the BIOS for SD card booting. This seems unlikely.
On your USB install, are you able to add packages and make config file changes (such as /etc/hosts) and maintain those changes across reboots? I had some success installing the Live CD version of Voyage to a USB drive but the Live CD version doesn't allow changes without some serious hacking. I think I need to install the standard version to USB somehow. I'm still not entirely sure how to get persistent changes now that /ro is gone.
