Bug Description
Scenario:
- a machine has already a system installed with GRUB as boot manager
- you want to use make-live-device.sh to create a liveHD install
Result:
- epic fail
The script puts syslinux in /dev/sdX1 which is normal, but GRUB is in the MBR, so you would need to wipe it before using syslinux. The normal way would be to use dd to wipe the 1st 512 of /dev/sdX but that does not work (why?!). The only way to get rid of grub in that case is to cat the mbr.bin provided by sysinux to /dev/sdX.
