Richard,
I burned this oversized iso image to an 8.5GB DVD+R(DL) disc, then used
it to successfully boot a 64-bit laptop with a BluRay drive. It displays
a grub menu with (I think) sixteen separate entries.
Like you, I'm running into trouble with livecd-iso-to-disk. I'm seeing a
couple of different problems:
# livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr /home/doc/Downloads/Fedora-14-Live-multi.iso
/dev/sdc
