Booting
To get to the boot/BIOS menu, there is no key combination. Press the recessed button next to the power button instead; unintuitively called the "novo" button by the documentation. You also might have to disable FastStartup and Secure Boot temporarily in the bios menu to get it to boot from your USB device.

HiDPI
The high DPI means that you have to tweak some settings or suffer through tiny nigh-unreadable text while installing. There are larger fonts available at /usr/share/consolefonts/, which can be used by running e.g:

Later on when you get X11 running, it might think your screen is a lot larger then it really is, defaulting to 96 DPI. Setting the window size manually fixes this.

You generally want a DPI double or 50% larger than 96, as it makes bitmap GUI elements scale better. Still, you need software which takes the DPI into account - the default xterm XLFD font, for example, will still look tiny until you replace it with a non-bitmap font.

Wireless
The only driver available that supports the card is the proprietary wl driver, available by installing net-wireless/broadcom-sta. If you don't have this on your installation drive, you might need to use an external USB NIC.
