|   I have never heard of a UEFI USB stick or DVD.  They should be MBR.
| I think that's your problem right there.  You can boot MBR from the USB
| stick and then set up the harddrive as UEFI or MBR.

The USB has the CentOS .iso image dd'ed straight onto it.  Any
filesystem structure is within that image, as crafted by the CentOS
folks.  This is the simplest way to do it (for me).  It works with
Fedora .iso images too.

The computer's BIOS offers me several boot sources.  Two are:
	UEFI: Corsair Voyager GT 3.0 1.00
	Corsair Voyager GT 3.0 1.00
Both boot.

As I explained, my installation problems depend on which I boot from.
