Two questions: a) are you sure that the USB key is /dev/sda,
Yes, I've verified this before and again after you asked that it is seen as /dev/sda, at least through the installation DVD. fdisk also does not find a sdb/c/d if I try that.
and b) does your system offer a boot menu, or only go into setup to tell it to boot off the USB key?
Both, I can set the boot sequence in BIOS, which is currently to boot USB first. And I can also hit F10 to choose.
Oh, and in fdisk, is the partition flagged bootable?
Yes, definitely :D
