at a guess, bot having played with one of these, but having dealt with
headless machine before, I would have the bios set to
pxe
usb
ide/cf
pxe first and if that fails fall back to usb and if that fails back to
ide. I have seen systems where the usb has to a flag on it to boot.
as for the ide/cf - why not just take out the cf card and test it on
another machine - fsck/ logs etc
