   Funny thing, that's how my first distro got picked. Uknownst to me then,   
   but knownst to me now, there was a step in the bootstrapping process of   
   that machine which used an incorrect/incomplete and needless El Torito   
   implementation (I should have just used the one in AMIBIOS   
   directly...). This failed to boot a lot of install media (and also live   
   media). IIRC I ended up going with the first that booted.
