Mikkel, I'm away from home and from the laptop I used to do the install, so I can't examine the history to find out.

Mounting the drive in a running system shows all the expected directories under /media/Z Mate 8GB/DaneElec, and as you will see in my reply to Bill, fdisk shows

OK - you have the boot flag. The problem may by that there isn't a boot loader in the MBR. It depends on how the stick was formatted from the factory. You may need to install makebootfat to make the stick bootable. I think there is also a way to do it with syslinux, but I am not sure.

makebootfat?? It's a Linux partition, hopefully one could boot a rescue disk, chroot to the stick, and grub install on the device. I'n assuming that Anne checked for the presence of the /boot partition on the USB, etc.
