(Or at least boots by the 32 bit EFI binary.) 2 offers ... i'd say MBR partition and APM partition. (If the firmware is EFI enough to ignore the GPT.) Now i wonder what is the decisive difference between this mjg and my grub-mkrescue "mjg". The lack of HFS+ in the Debian ISO ? The mountability of the Debian ISO partitions ? What happens if you give that Mac a "mbr_hfs" ISO ? (If it does not boot any more, then HFS+ is to blame.) What happens with the combination of "mjg", MKRESCUE_SED_PARTNO=2, and MKRESCUE_SED_PROTECTIVE=no ? (If this boots then mountability of ISO partition is needed.)
