It is possible to boot from the Fusion io device by doing the following:

1) Install on the Fusionio card and verify that it won't boot up using the steps above.
2) Re-install the OS, this time on a local SATA disk in the same machine as the FusionIO card.
3) Boot from the SATA disk. The grub menu should have two entries...one for the SATA drive and another for the fusion IO card device. The Fusion IO entry is typically listed second.
4) Select the Fusion IO entry. Initially you will get an error message complaining about "no such device xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx", however, if you select the 'press any key to continue' option, the OS will boot up from the FusionIO device.

Attaching a grub.cfg from this type of installation. The relevant Fusionio entries begin in the /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober section of the file.
