I tried searching for the image name in google because I found the image on the link I placed above, but didn't hit the 9.2.1 link you show. There were no results but maybe we populated it's index now. Would it make sense to have a link to the image descriptions in the FAQ? An image description page? I was able to find that which brought me to the list.Thanks. My next issue is getting a bootable linux distro to the mac.

There's already text mentioning the special mac images, for example at
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/9.2.1/amd64/iso- cd/
But that's not currently added for the daily builds. Fixing that right
now. Maybe I could also make expand it and make it more prominent
yet. The text we have currently says:
"The mac netinst CD here is a special version of the netinst CD image
that is targeted specifically at older 64-bit Intel Macintosh
machines. It will likely work on most other amd64 machines too, but it
does not contain UEFI boot files that some people need."
