This describes the equipment of debian-live and debian-cd (DVD-*, BD-*,
netinst) ISOs. See e.g. debian-live-9.5.0-i386-xfce.iso and its
MBR partition table.

Debian and nearly all others use GRUB 2 for their EFI capable ISOs.
See Knoppix 8.[12] for examples of SYSLINUX EFI in ISOs.

SYSLINUX EFI stuff is known not to boot from CD, DVD, or BD, but only from
HDD, SSD, and alike.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
