Hi Kent,
After doing the cp or dd to write the .iso to the USB, do you do a “sync”
before you eject it? Writing to a USB stick can seem to go quite fast, but
that’s because of buffering. Often it takes quite a while (a minute or more
for a very big write on a machine with plenty of RAM) to c

No, a BIOS upgrade doesn't modify fstab. I believe that EFI has anti-tampering
