Ok, that makes sense. Still curious as to why the other method might 
fail though - as Karl points out in the other email, its just doing a 
direct copy of the image file, so if the iamge is built correct then I 
am surprised it wont work under all circumstances.

But thanks for the info - will file this away for when I have to install 
an EFI machine. cheers,
