= Bootable EFI CDs on Intel Macs =

Bootable EFI CDs on an Intel Mac are a bit different than a normal EFI CD. As such, they need special support.

What's needed

 * HFS+ support for blessing a file
 * make dumpet correctly interpet and display hybrid iso/apm CDs and HFS+ blessing
 * Ability to create image files for the icon and label to be used on the boot option screen
 * Ability to create CD that has el torito images as well as an Apple Partition Map which specifies the HFS+ image as a partition.
 * icon/label images included in *-logos
 * modification of mk-images to create the appropriate HFS+ image and add it to CD images.

Current Status
= Alternate Approach =

There's also another way:


 * Put a GPT table on the CD
 * Create an EFI System Partition that points at the El Torito image
 * copy /usr/share/pixmaps/bootloader/fedora.icns to \.VolumeIcon.icns
 * Put a label file at \{somefile}
 * Make sure the bootloader looks at the iso9660 image instead of El Torito or the EFI System Partition.
