Bug Description

Description: Fedora 14, 15, 16 all x64 based editions does not work correctly on the Mac version of Unetbootin. I am using OSx snow leopard to try to instal Fedora on a USB external drive.

Steps to replicate this bug:

1. Select Fedora as the distribution, then select 14_Live_x64, 15_Live_x64, or 16_Live_x64
2. Let Unetbootin install
3. Exit and try to boot the USB drive on an external PC

Expected result: The device should boot up Fedora into the Desktop to be able to do a Live install as specified by the Unetbootin user interface.

Actual result: The device boots into grub and asks you to enter in boot options.

It seems like none of the Fedora options for the Mac work with Unetbootin. The USB drive itself is a seagate go flex drive, but that should not matter seeing as I can obviously get to the boot loader menu. I do not know what is wrong with this configuration, but it seems like there is something wrong with the grub setup on the unetbootin version for OSx.

Update: I have confirmed Unetbootin works correctly on my setup with Ubuntu 12.04 Live using the same process described above from the unetbootin menu, so this is not user error.
