Click on the -> arrow and it should take you there.

no luck, does not work here.
the only 2 boot devices i can see:
 mac os x  (hda2)
 linux = fc3-rawhide  (hda4)
but not the usb-stick, the usb-stick-led (256mb) is flickering
afaik the mac can not boot from usb but firwire [T].


for now i did the installation via regular nfs (not iso).
