The non-working method was to use dd from the isos. (And yes I know how
to do it, I've done it for 20 years...)

Then I used unetbootin to obtain a key with a writable filesystem on
FAT32 instead of an ISO (but still not booting) that I could "fix"
easily with syslinux.

Yeah, but not this evening and most probably not before wednesday
evening at least - that's my son's machine and I won't have a chance to
play with it before.

No. The very attemp to load grub results in a black screen with a _
cursor in the upper left corner, PERIOD.

Which means : no menu, no error message, not a single "grub" word.

Having the EFI try to load it, or trying to chain it from rEFInfd
produces the exact same result.

I'll try to give this a shot asap...

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards.
