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

The mini iso is an artifact of the debian-installer package build and is
not a supported installer that we reference anywhere on
<https://www.ubuntu.com/download>.  It undergoes exactly zero testing as
part of the release process, and is not something that we invest in.  I
would recommend that you use one of the supported install images linked
from https://www.ubuntu.com/download instead.

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.
