Bug Description
I installed from a USB stick, and now the system (Eee PC 1000H) fails to boot if the install USB stick is not plugged in.
If you google that problem, there is lots of threads dealing with that problem, the best analysis I have seen is in
http://
The problem seems to be that the USB stick becomes the first BIOS disk if plugged in.

Booting from the USB stick now gives the normal Ubuntu boot menu - looks like its installer boot loader was overwritten (instead of writing to the hard disk)
