Black screen unable to use ESC key to get to boot menu. Same display messages as earlier. Just now, does not say "Press ESC key for boot menu" , just goes straight to booting from hard drive.
So is this problem with usb drive? I will with another later and see if that the problem.
Wondering if this is because on earlier install I had set up booting options to quick boot into openelec, and did not reset booting options to default?
no, as per the wiki, the issue is either your keyboard (since hitting ESC does nothing) or another connected USB device.
the dual boot setup 'boot options' have no effect once you flash the custom coreboot firmware; they are a function of the stock firmware only.
