Hi,
the Plop boot manager to boot via USB on a PC which does not support booting via USB is just great!
Please add support for Multiboot CD/DVD images as used e.g. by Debian Wheezy:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/Here are the partition and file system details once the DVD 1 i386 image is copied with dd to a USB stick:
$ /sbin/fdisk -l

Dateisystem Typ Size Used Avail Use% EingehÃĪngt auf

The BIOS is able to boot from this USB stick (when the BIOS is generally able to boot via USB), but Plop isn't.
Thanks,
Andi
