Create a Clonezilla entry to rEFInd

I am not sure if it's possible but I'd like to know if it is possible to create a Clonezilla boot entry to rEFInd so I can choose to boot Clonezilla instead of my normal Arch system. The idea is to bypass inserting a USB (with Clonezilla in it) when doing certain disk-imaging. Clonezilla comes as an iso but rEFInd needs an efi image to boot.
Is it possible to create an efi image from the iso?
Any other suggestions?

Re: Create a Clonezilla entry to rEFInd

Is Clonezilla EFI boot compatible?
or
Can rEFInd handle legacy boot entries?

Re: Create a Clonezilla entry to rEFInd

refind is unable to mount loopback devices, so you have to either use grub (you could load grub from an entry in refind) or create a partition and install the live usb version on it. The 64 bit version should support UEFI booting.

@dockland: Whether refind can handle legacy booting depends on your EFI. refind requires CSM support from your EFI implementation,

Thanks progandy. I was already thinking along those lines. I'll give it a go and I'll come back if I have more queries.
