Well hey, that might explain the blank drive then.... Important tip,
I'll give that a shot :)
One of the things that drives me nuts about unix, you'd think that dd
would kick back and say you can't do that, specify a device not a
partition, rather than acting like it was successful.
I'm still powerful curious why iPXE can't seem to start downloading the
PXE image from the server when using the CD, no idea if that will change
with USB if I get that working.
Cheers!

As I have mentioned previously, using dd to clone the .usb file to the usb key
results in a blank usb key (sdc1). On the off chance that the entire contents
were invisible for some reason, I tried to boot it anyway, and simply got a
black screen with nothing at all. Per your other email request, a little more
detail:
Er that would be /dev/sdc you need to use NOT /dev/sdc1
You need to dd to the device, not a a partition on the device
