PIneBook Pro - Boot from SD
#1
I have a new PineBook Pro, and simply want to boot from an SD image.   I've carefully followed the instructions to create a Bionic LXDE Community Build using Etcher on my Mac.  From what I have been able to understand, all I need to do is insert the formatted card into the PineBook and power on in order to boot to the SD, but it won't.  Instead, the PineBook always boots to the default OS that was delivered with the device.  

I am totally stuck.  I've looked through the forums and tried various images with the same result.

I've reviewed the common issues posted by 'Ghost' and none apply to my environment.  

Is there some kind of boot sequence key combination that I need to press to boot using the image on the SD card? 

Any guidance is appreciated.  Thank you!
