Thanks, Gordon. A lot of talk on Googleland talks about setting the
BIOS to legacy mode, so that's the way I went. Centos 7 said nothing
the contrary either... or doesn't say much otherwise. But so, yes,
taking your advice: I reset all default BIOS settings to previously
(UEFI enabled, Legacy disabled) and then accessing the flashdrive at the
top of the list.
However now booting again, the CentOS 7 menu items all lead to these errors:
--------------
Image too small
error: /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz has invalid signature
error: you need to load the kernel first.
Press 'e' to edit the selected line, or 'c' for a command
prompt.

Any suggestions as to what to do here?
