[Bug 1429030] Re: netboot mini.iso doesn't support UEFI boot

[Nathanaël Naeri]

I once had to install 14.04 LTS by booting from the mini ISO image on
the internal hard disk instead of booting from a thumb drive made from
that image (2008 Apple Macbook Pro can't boot from USB, can you believe
that).

I wished the EFI folder of that ISO hadn't been empty.

Title:
  netboot mini.iso doesn't support UEFI boot

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The amd64 mini.iso (in at least trusty through current vivid) has an
  EFI boot partition, but it's empty. This renders the image unbootable
  on systems without BIOS boot enabled.

  This is easily worked around by copying {boot,grub}x64.efi from eg. a
  desktop image into the empty partition.
