I used the live cd to install on the usb like any other device/drive

mkdir /tmp/root
mount -o loop /live/image/live/filesystem.squashfs  /tmp/root
cd /tmp/root
mkdir /mnt/cf
/usr/local/sbin/format-cf.sh /dev/sda = the usb thumbdrive
/usr/local/sbin/voyage.update

and then built my apps on it and cleaned it up.

the thumb drive is bootable and useable just not able to install on 
other devices with it.

I want to figure out how we fix the gub issue so that the usb drive can 
be used to install onto devices without
cdrom/dvdrom drives.
