You first booted using the "alt" (option key?) and it didn't see the usb
stick.

Right?

Then you booted using command-r and you could see it then, right?

That's what I'm saying, using the option boot, it'll not show up because the
usb ports aren't initialized, turned on or whatever.

I dunno if has to do with that series of macs, ones with or without dvd
drives, no bootable drive detected, it's something but it'll never show up
as a bootable device. Once you install osx on the internal drive, it'll
work.

By the way, here are the key options for the command-r shit (middle of the
page)...
