Additionally, this achieves BIOS boot via
/usr/share/syslinux/gptmbr.bin -> PMBR, the single GPT partition has
an attribute flag for legacy BIOS bootable. That tells the computer to
jump to the first sector of this partition, where it finds syslinux
FAT32 bootloader. All of this makes sense *but* it isn't the same way
ISO images boot from a USB stick. Therefore it's not as well tested.

I think there should be a test day pretty soon to test the image you
want to send off for production, because it's different from
everything else we create and test.
