[OpenIndiana-discuss] USB versions explanation?

I am mirroring the ISO/USB BitTorrents, and I am wondering why there are
two USB versions.

One of the versions make a bootable USB copying with "dd".

The other version is only an image of a root partition. No partition
table, no boot sector, no grub. What is the practical use of it?. Maybe
to copy it inside an already partitioned (big) USB?. In that case, would
be nice to have instructions of how to boot it in this configuration. In
the wiki there is a method described, but it overwrite the USB,
basically being equivalent to the "dd" way.
