Thanks for the input
My reason for using grub (or the boot-loader method) is because I find the
concept of having an entire bootable usb of 1Gb used only for booting BIOS
utilities and used <1% in capacity rather silly.
By using grub, one can fully load the USB as a "rescue disk" with all sorts
of tools (like aida, ranish, rescuedisk, NT-passwd-recover, inquisitor,
etc, etc). If the same concept can be achieved with a bootloader other then
grub, that would be fine also - but I have come across anything else which
can smoothly handle iso-loopback like grub can.
Regards.
