Sorry, I think I wasn't clear enough :)

The machine actually boots from USB the second time. FAI loads from USB 
stick (I can tell: the stick is blinking, and booting is slower than 
from HD). At first, the Linux kernel is loaded, and then initrd I think...
Then, FAI (or is it the Linux kernel?) needs to find out where its files 
and scripts are, so it can install and run them. At that point, I want 
it to find the USB stick and mount it. But instead, it finds the 
recovery partition and mounts that.

With kind regards,

Jurrie
