Step by step instructions for creating a secure multi-sig wallet

There are a lot of great resources online for securing bitcoin wallets, but I haven't found any that cover the entire process from setting up a clean OS, through wallet setup/use, to password and backup management. I put together some instructions below and would love any comments/feedback - particularly concerning any security issues I may have overlooked.
Thanks!

The requirement that signers boot to an alternate OS in order to sign transactions makes it too cumbersome for general use.

Agreed!
On the spectrum of security <-> convenience, this workflow is definitely towards the security end. In reality I would use this as a slightly more convenient paper wallet - something as secure as possible while still being usable (if painfully so) on a day to day basis. For example: a wallet used to store corporate funds for purchases larger than what can be handled by "petty cash."
In reality a multi-sig hardware wallet (e.g. multi-sig support on a Trezor) will probably be a far better solution (secure as well as convenient) - but I'm looking for an option in the meantime.
Thanks for the comment.
