Bug#740500: debian-installer: amd64 documentation is incorrect/incomplete ("isohybrid" issues)
Package: debian-installer
Version: stable
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en
Documentation is out of date - does not mention that this the amd64
images are "isohybrid" BIOS/EFI boot format, with both a MBR/GPT
partition scheme. Documentation implies there is only one partition but
there are now two (EFI system partition and ISO9660 partition).
The section on adding an extra partition will likely not be followable
due to being incorrect/incomplete - it does not mention what tools to
use - *fdisk and gdisk do not work* and it is not clear whether either
of
them could correctly modify the hybrid MBR/GPT scheme used in the image
whilst preserving its bootability on both BIOS and EFI (?)
