Create a Zenith bootable USB stick
To use the Valthrun Zenith Driver, users must

Both will be automatically done by the Valthrun Zenith Installer.

This operation will erase all data stored on your USB stick.
Ensure that the USB stick is empty or you do not need the data any more!
If you already have a secondary bootloader e.g. GRUB2 installed the installation may fail.
