The risk is small, but of course, with BIOS you never know how many 
idiots have been involved.  The reason the risk is small is that the El 
Torito stack should never look at the additional information.  So even 
if the hybrid image doesn't work in USB stick mode, the likelihood of it 
not working as a CD is very small.
