I enter the boot menu from Bios and select the removable device which appears when usb hd is plugged in. Then a black screen with blinking cursor comes, thats all. With my usb flash stick the debian boot menu appears immediately.
I walked through bios settings up and down and tried several settings, something like hdd-mode wasn't there hmm.
