Comments/Problems:

Carefully let the external CD power up and and once it is spinning
reboot the MAC at the EFI level.
I had refind (see http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/)  as the boot
loader which will boot Linux via BIOS mode (I can't get the EFI kernel
to boot - it just hangs after complaining)

Use Expert Mode and edit the boot options by pressing <Tab>  when
selecting the installation other wise it will hang on attempting the
install.

Add these options:

acpi=none nomodeset nointremap

It doesn't appear to recognise the wired Ethernet via the Thunderbold
adaptor and the
in built wireless card requires proprietary firmware

I was able to check this in both BIOS mode booting and the EFI booting
off the CD!

That is all I was able to test so far. I thought I better send you
this - I won't be able to test it more until this week end.

If you can let me know if you are interested in hearing more.

Hi,

thank you for submitting installation reports, much appreciated.

I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by 
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in 
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they were caused by broken hardware and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are quite old (and thus likely fixed today) and/or
- moreinfo was asked and not given or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for 
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to 
close wishlist bugs.)

If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll 
do if requested) or just file a new one - thats often better, as the bug log 
will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.


cheers,
        Holger
