I know how to use multisystem, but the computer I have now won't boot
from a usb stick. I need to make a boot cd that will tell the system to
look to the usb stick. If grub could be put on a bootable cd, I'd need
to be able to tell it to load whatever grub setup is on the usb stick.

I use Multisystem at the installfest the trick is if you create it on
a uefi machine it will only boot a uefi machine and only run Uefi
iso's. if you build it on a non uefi machine it will only be able to
boot a non-uefi configured machine but them will only install as non uefi
most uefi computers can be set to either but is a bit of a pain to
switch a installed image between grub and grub-efi and adding a efi
partition the redirecting efi bios to the efi-grub.
most newer computers are not uniform on how they implement UEFI so a
bit of trial and error is needed. turn off secure boot and all
uefi/efi options for non uefi installs and secure boot may need to be
turned off for uefi installs.
to create images on usb I use dd for most iso's and ubuntu startup
disk creator 18.04 up also works for most usb media creation.
to update the bios again each is a bit different. some i can update
with a fat usb drive that has the new image on it others I have to a
usb dos boot disk.
feel free to stop by the installfest on the 20th at UAT and I would be
happy to assist and I have all the media ready to go to update bios
and install most linux distro's

I have a USB stick with multisystem installed on it. I'm looking for
some way to boot from the CD then have the multisystem options
available
as if I were able to boot from the USB stick.
