With the ASUS there is a bios option to enable a quick boot; with this
disabled is a prompt to press Esc for 'BBS Menu' -- this brings up the
boot device menu showing the onboard SSD and the USB.

Selecting the USB clears the screen and prints a single colon (perhaps a
semi-colon, hard to tell) and nothing more; pressing any key will cause
the machine to boot from the onboard SSD.

this suggests there is something about the USB stick boot that is not
executing, although the usb-creator.log does not report anything wrong:

is there some way to verify the boot loader on the USB?
