Also, another thing to consider is if installation to USB worked correctly, then nvram would be updated to boot the USB drive by default. Is this what people would want since I would think most USB instalations would be temporary or for testing/trying out purposes? It would be good if the installer gave the user an option to update nvram or not.

In my persistence instructions I pass

--ofboot "&device;:2" --nonvram

This allows the device to be connected to any usb port and doesn't update nvram. That is assuming the installation is on partition 2.
