Booting VIA EPIA PX Mainboard from USB

The Embedded Systems Conference gave away ARTiGO Pico-ITX PCs this year
to "full" attendees. I was pleasantly surprised to get it -- usually
speakers don't get the full range of freebies.
At any rate, I have this thing with Windows CE installed on it, but what
_I_ really want is to get more milage with Linux. Since this is a spare
time project I'm trying to do this while spending no more than ten times
the purchase price of the PC -- and 0 * 10 = 0.
I've got a copy of Damn Small Linux on a bootable memory stick, and I've
tested it on one of my laptops and it works -- but it doesn't work on the
ARTiGO machine. If worse comes to worst I can slap the thing's hard
drive into a laptop and install a linux distro on it, then put it back
into the ARTiGO machine, but I'd rather be able to boot off a stick if I
can.
Does anyone out there know how to induce a VIA EPIA PX mainboard to boot
from a memory stick? It's bios gives one several boot choices including
USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CD, but either none of these work with a stick
or I'm not fondling the thing quite right, because I'm not getting it to
boot.
Thanks in advance.
