Caryl, Which eeePC do you have? On the eeePC 701 I have (the original), I press and hold F2, then power on with the SoaS inserted. The American Megatrends logo should appear on black, then the blue "BIOS SETUP UTILITY" screen. Hit the right arrow to select the "Boot" tab. Then follow the instructions to change the Boot Device Priority to your USB drive.
I have my eeePC handy, but not SoaS. If you need more help, I can look for one of my SoaS drives tomorrow to test the procedure. Unfortunately, the function key for opening the BIOS setup is different on every PC I've encountered. I've placed a sticker dot over the proper function key on some of my machines.
