Cannot boot device to USB Media

    Hello,

    I am running a Tiny Pilot on version 2.7.0. Via WinSCP, I have transferred a bootable ISO file to the Mele and used your CLI commands to make it visible to the device. If I mount the ISO image to the running device, its contents are visible. For this particular model of device/BIOS when using a physical USB device, this worked normally.

    Once I turn on the client device, and having mounted the ISO from TinyPilot in Flash Drive mode, I am able to see the TinyPilot instances in the BIOS, but I cannot see it on the boot list. Before I get too far down the rabbit hole, can I use UEFI to boot to a virtual media provided by the Tiny Pilot ? If so, from everything I am reading, it looks like I need to register that device as a boot device in the BIOS.

    Thank you,
    Dave
