It is my observation with many (if not all) of my systems that the USB stick
was in fact not considered a USB device but an HDD. So to boot from a stick,
instead of changing the boot order to USB → HDD → CD-Rom → whatever I had to
put HDD at the top and then – within the HDD selection – move the USB stick
above the internal HDD. But then again, those were mostly laptops, whose
BIOSes always seemed very crippled to me.
