[issue1171] EFI Boot on macbook with dd-ed usb stick

[Michael Prokop]

Michael Prokop <mika at grml.org> added the comment:

dd-ing the ISO won't work for USB devices on Mac as there isn't a GPT table
present then but EFI wants GPT when booting from USB.

We have docs how to get such a working key in our wiki:

  http://wiki.grml.org/doku.php?id=usb#building_an_efi_usb_key_on_a_mac

We're working on a way how to better present this information on the download
page, feedback and help is welcome.
