+=== Booting from USB ===
+If you are booting Manjaro from a USB disk or via a USB SATA adapter/enclosure, there is a good chance that you will be required to add a '''usb-storage.quirks''' kernel parameter to the '''APPEND''' statement in '''extlinux.conf''' like so:
+<code>APPEND root=PARTUUID=5418e4d8-02 rootflags=data=writeback rw console=ttyAML0,115200n8 console=tty0 no_console_suspend consoleblank=0 fsck.fix=yes fsck.repair=yes net.ifnames=0 quiet splash plymouth.ignore-serial-consoles usb-storage.quirks=152d:1561:u</code>
+You must replace '''152d:1561''' with the correct USB vendor and product IDs for your USB device. You can find these identifiers by running '''lsusb''' when you have your disk or adapter connected to a Linux box. It is recommended you boot from USB without setting the USB storage quirks parameter where possible.
+=== Enable multiboot mode ===
+If this is your first time attempting to boot from an SD card or USB disk, you must enable multiboot mode. Insert your Manjaro micro SD card or attach the Manjaro USB disk then hold down the button in the AV port by inserting a paper clip, a pin or something similar and keep it depressed while powering the device on. Keep the button pressed until you see the boot screen of your box. After a few seconds it should reboot off your SD card or USB disk. You are only required to do this once unless you reflash your eMMC.
