How to test

  1. From an already installed system, insert a USB key (with enough capacity to hold the efidisk.img image)
  2. Locate the device entry for your USB key (for tips, see http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-making-media.html#id3110774)
  3. Write the efidisk.img to your USB media by typing:
    dd if=/path/to/efidisk.img of=/dev/sdd
  4. Insert removable media into your test system
  5. Reboot the test system. If offered, but sure to select the CD/DVD device as your boot device
