Is there a good link that documents how to create a bootable flash drive 
that boots on either? I wanted to put the 'Beaver iso on a SSD and have it come up
with a different command line- no casper and a rw root. However, it looks like
the CD file system is inherently RO ( joliet or whatever the thing is called )
 and I guess I need to go from FAT to ext3.
I'm trying to copy the Dell boot partition ion my HD now but it is taking foreveri to figure out.
So far I've been playing with [x]disk ( x=f,g,sg etc ) and parted  and I haven't 
managed to format the hard disk accidently so I'm gaining confience but
not a bootable flash drive :) 

If not, I guess I need source for a grubx64.efi or something to play with.

Thanks.
