For a long time the SmartOS USB images were built using a prebuilt USB image rather than making one from scratch.

I did contribute a patch ages ago that is able to build USB images from scratch: https://github.com/joyent/smartos-live/commit/579a0cce5a44006146af792ffd8db78cdaf56d1c

If that code isn't currently being used to generate the USB images, perhaps it should be.

When USB booting 20140710T224431Z shows some strange behavior (something to do with: obj_is_compressed):

This happened on two different physical machines, with different USB Sticks, freshly written or updated platform dir, and confirmed correct downloads. Booting with a ISO image on the other hand does not show this problems.

Any idea what could be causing this?
