retitle 768461 Please add UEFI boot files to i386 and amd64 netboot images severity 768461 normal tags 768461 patch thanks
I recently had to reinstall jessie to my MacBook2,1 and found that the Debian 8.2 i386 netinst image now works out of the box even with the strange EFI implementation in this box. Many thanks to Steve McIntyre for making this work, yay! In general I like to do my installations with the netboot images, since the 28 M image is sure to fit any USB stick which happens to be at hand. It would be super-duper if the 32-bit and 64-bit EFI boot files could also be added to these images, so that they too would start to work like magic. For old intel MacBooks the EFI boot file needs to be in the removable path, i.e. efi/boot/bootia32.efi [I added the patch tag because the fix to this bug is known and trivial, no patch attached though] Best, Teemu
