However, this should be documented somewhere so that users know its possible without having to follow the liveusb guide which is probably outdated by today's standards. isohybrid works with UEFI by passing --uefi option. This requires a UEFI bootable image (such as a UEFI capable boot loader or kernel with EFI stub support) to be present. Starting with syslinux-6.00 it will be possible to boot UEFI systems in EFI mode. Until then, one of the other boot loaders (rEFIt, GRUB 2, ELILO) might be used.
