Hello all, In case it has some interest, I now can boot the image on USB via EFI!
Here is my complete doc (wiki format): __Prerequisites__ : * Some vars : <code> DEBIAN_ISO_VERSION='wheezy-DI-b4-amd64' DEBIAN_DIR_VERSION='wheezy_di_beta4' SHORT_NAME='Debian_7b4_Local' LONG_NAME='Debian wheezy Local b4' mkdir ~/mk_debian_inst cd ~/mk_debian_inst </code> * Installer download : <code> rm -v debian-wheezy-*-netinst.iso wget http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/$DEBIAN_DIR_VERSION/amd64/iso-cd/debian-$DEBIAN_ISO_VERSION-netinst.iso </code> * preseed download : <code> rm -v preseed.cfg wget http://autoserver/d-i/wheezy/preseed.cfg </code> * install bsdtar, xorriso and syslinux-common: <code> sudo aptitude install bsdtar xorriso syslinux-common </code> __Procedure__ : * Extract ISO : <code> sudo mkdir cd sudo bsdtar -C cd -xf debian-$DEBIAN_ISO_VERSION-netinst.iso </code> * Copy preseed in initrd : <code> sudo mkdir irmod cd irmod gzip -d < ../cd/install.amd/initrd.gz | \ sudo cpio --extract --make-directories --no-absolute-filenames sudo cp ../preseed.cfg preseed.cfg sudo chown root:root preseed.cfg sudo chmod o+w ../cd/install.amd/initrd.gz find . | cpio -H newc --create | \ gzip -9 > ../cd/install.amd/initrd.gz sudo chmod o-w ../cd/install.amd/initrd.gz cd ../ sudo rm -fr irmod/ </code> * AUtomatic install (BIOS only) : <code> sudo sed -i 's/^timeout 0$/timeout 20/' cd/isolinux/isolinux.cfg </code> * Mount partition 1 (boot1) : <code> $ sudo parted debian-$DEBIAN_ISO_VERSION-netinst.iso unit B print Model: (file) Disk /home/aadsi255/mk_debian_inst/debian-wheezy-DI-b4-amd64-netinst.iso: 232194048B Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32768B 231735295B 231702528B primary boot, hidden 2 231735296B 232194047B 458752B primary mkdir boot1 sudo mount -o loop,offset=231735296 debian-$DEBIAN_ISO_VERSION-netinst.iso boot1 </code> * New iso : <code> xorriso -as mkisofs -r \ -checksum_algorithm_iso md5,sha1,sha256,sha512 \ -V "$SHORT_NAME" -o debian-$DEBIAN_ISO_VERSION-netinst-local.iso \ -J -isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin \ -partition_offset 16 -J -joliet-long -cache-inodes -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot --efi-boot boot/grub/efi.img \ -append_partition 2 0x01 cd/boot/grub/efi.img boot1 cd sudo umount boot1 rmdir boot1 sudo rm -rf cd </code> * Copy or burn the image <code> dd if=debian-$DEBIAN_ISO_VERSION-netinst-local.iso of=/dev/sdz bs=1M && sync </code> Tada ! Some remarks and questions: - EFI: How can I create boot1 partition myself? - EFI: The expert mode is missing in EFI (/boot/grub/grub.cfg, what is the source package?) - EFI, d-i/partman-auto: Why are the partitions size of efi recipes different [*]? - d-i: How can I mark all questions as unseen (when preseeding failed). I will file a bug - d-i/partman-auto: Why does partman try to install on the installer disk !? (probably get_auto_disks() from lib/auto-shared.sh, #607536) - d-i/partman-auto: I also hit #297201: "no way to leave free space on a disk" Regards -- Mathieu [*]: d-i/partman-auto --- recipes/multi 2013-01-16 13:42:22.096014823 +0100 +++ recipes-amd64-efi/multi 2013-01-16 13:42:22.092014727 +0100 /: -300 800 350 $default_filesystem +100 800 500 $default_filesystem /usr: -500 3000 9000 $default_filesystem +700 7000 7000 $default_filesystem /var: -300 1500 3000 $default_filesystem +60 1500 3000 $default_filesystem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
