>Organization:
Dipl.Phys. Peer Stritzinger GmbH
>Environment:
Can't uname yet because of the problem: ASUS P8 H67-M, Intel i7-2600, 16GB 
>Description:
Downloaded the 8.2 memstick i386 image.

Boots ok, sysinstall menues work, can enter fdisk, disklabel etc.

Then it wants to know from where I want to install.  When I chose USB-Stick there is a message that the USB-Stick can't be found.

When I do a 'echo dev/*' in the emergency shell I don't see any da* devices. There is /dev/usb, /dev/usbctrl, and 4 /dev/ugen devices.

Tried several emulation settings in the EFI BIOS for the USB Stick, some don't boot the others have the same error.

Tried "rescan" option but didn't make the USB-Stick appear.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to install from USB-Stick on this ASUS Board
>Fix:
None so far :-(
