Excellent, glad to hear it. Did you happen to try writing a directdisk
image to the usb stick to see if that would boot? That might be another
option. I prefer the hddimg over the ddimg, as the hddimg can easily be
mounted with -o loop and modified, but if ddimg works, it's a fair bit
easier than having to deal with the USB-ZIP mode.
Thoughts on how we should present this?
