USB booting :: DSM not booting with

Hi,

This is my first foray into Knoppix and Damn Small Anythings, so please forgive the ignorance. I ordered a Damn Small Machine and the USB pendrive with DSL preinstalled. Unfortunately, I plugged it in, turned it on, and I received this error:

> Boot Failure
> Reboot and Select the proper Boot device
> or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device
> Press any key when ready

But, the keyboard is unreponsive, so I can't even enter the BIOS. Strangely, with no config changes, the keyboard sorta worked once. But, all it did was rewrite the above error message every time I pressed a key. So, I don't know if you can call that "working." Anyway, my real question is: is there a way to reimage the pendrive with a DSL package configured to work with the hardware in the DSM?

Thanks, alan

Oh, I should add that the keyboard works fine when plugged into a different computer.
