I installed eeexubuntu on my partner's eee pc. It was the best solution I could find. She has since left it out in the rain and it aint working so well atm. I will leave that story for another day. You can do the manual BIOS hack, or you can just leave /boot and MBR intact on the SSD and just remove the entries for the SSD. I personally found using SSD for the OS and the SD card for /home and some other mount points great - except when the thing went to sleep and woke up and would allocate a new block device for the SD card.
