Can we have more info please?

* Does it affect all mactels? Which have we tested?
* Does it depend whether rEFIt is installed? http://refit.sourceforge.net/  
(Allegedly you can do it without refit, by holding option on boot)

At work I have a mactel from 2006 with rEFIt installed, and it happily
recognises and boots the CD/DVD but not the USB - the volume appears in
the rEFIt menu but with some generic label like "unallocated" or
something. (Will add info about the machine when I'm next at work.)

Slax used to publish a "USB boot CD" which would pass control over to
the USB on machines that didn't directly support USB boot. (Seems like
they don't do this any more?)
