Samsung TC190: Firmware 

BIOS

On power up the DEL key will get you into the BIOS which reports itself as:

Phoenix - Award WorkstationBIOS CMOS Setup Utility

In the Linux log file I find:

DMI: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS Co., Ltd NETWORK MONITOR/SCNE-R69AA3-10, BIOS 6.00 PG 04/29/2010

Under Advanced BIOS Features you have the ability to set the First/Second/Third Boot Device Priority. The options are the usual list of:

  • Floppy
  • LS120
  • Hard Disk
  • CDROM
  • ZIP100
  • USB-FDD
  • USB-ZIP
  • USB-CDROM
  • Legacy LAN
  • B02 D00 Yukon P
  • Disabled

This BIOS is one where you need to pick the Hard Disk option in order to boot from a USB flash drive. There is a separate entry Hard Disk Boot Priority which, with a 8GB SanDisk USB flash drive plugged in, gives me:

   1. USB-HDD0   : SanDisk
   2. Ch0 M.     : FDM4GB V3.P0C   
   3. Bootable Add-in Cards

As always use the +/- keys to reorder them to suit.
