Hi,
Here's the patch that I spoke about in my last email:
http://downloads.diffingo.com/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh-efi.patch
What it changes:
* Exit messages when syslinux's MBR files can't be found
* Unmounts $USBDEV after creating GPT, as HAL attempts to automount
* Allows for hybrid (GPT+MBR) USB keys
* Adds --skipcopy to skip copying the live OS
* Adds --format option to replace --mactel + --reset-mbr
* --reset-mbr will now reset the MBR, GPT or not.
* if --format is specified, a valid partition isn't required (only a valid
device instead)
Notes worth mentioning:
* --format + --mactel = new GPT table, resets PMBR (GPT's Protective MBR)
* --format = new MSDOS table, resets MBR
* syslinux support isn't complete let, hopefully coming soon
* GPT hybrid tables requires /usr/{lib,share}/syslinux/gptmbr.bin which is
only in the newest syslinux (not available in the Fedora repos yet).
Hope this is useful!

Hm, I tried again and I got my errors mixed up. It actually says that
there's no data partition (only the EFI system one) so there's no need
to sync as the EFI system partition is always marked EFI Protective in
the MBR. If it isn't, then installing anything to the MBR risks erasing
the entire GPT data structure...
So the after all the only option seems to be to use multiple partitions,
which I don't think will work well. I'm still going to try a few things
though... If GRUB can install to the MBR on the "EFI Protective"
partition and it realizes that "EFI Protective" is just FAT32, things
might work out on a single partition.
