It does boot.  It seems to ignore the "method" option, but that might be
something I'm missing in the release notes.  (I haven't gone deeply into
them, just blithely booted, figuring I'd be able to direct it to a
network.)  :)

Just doing dd=if boot.iso of=/dev/whatever boots.  (I simply
forgot the bs=8M  option, but that didn't make a difference).

 Giles: Charm bags, money spells and for cleansing one's aura.
 Buffy: Okay, so how do you know if one's aura's dirty? Somebody
comes by with a finger and writes 'wash me' on it?
