Add guide for EFI iso creation to https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed/EditIso
Hi,
I recently decided to create a preseeded ISO for Debian deployment at
our lab, and created the final ISO according to the guide at
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed/EditIso. I was able to
boot the ISO in legacy mode on a VirtualBox VM, and from a thumbdrive on
real hardware as well. Sadly the guide does not mention how to re-build
the ISO so that it can be booted in EFI mode.
I pieced together commands for xorriso from various internet sources. I
added the options
-eltorito-alt-boot --efi-boot boot/grub/efi.img \
-append_partition 2 0xef boot/grub/efi.img \
to the xorriso command. The resulting ISO is bootable in both the
VirtualBox VM and the real hardware. Is this the preferred/correct way
to create an EFI-bootable ISO?
kind regards,
Christoph
