Creating an ISO that a macbook can boot from
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
Trying to repack an ISO with a preseed file to automate installation.
I have done this with a dozen laptops and works great. Until I ran into a macbook, where it does not work.
Originally repacking ISO with:
xorriso -as mkisofs
-r -J -V "Stretch Repack"
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin
-c isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4
-partition_offset 16
-boot-info-table
-isohybrid-mbr "/usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin"
-o $DEST_ISO
.
The standard debian live image mentions EFI when I boot from it on the macbook (and works great also) so I figure there is some EFI related issue here, so I tried:
xorriso -as mkisofs
-r -J -V "Stretch Repack"
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin
-c isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot
-boot-load-size 4
-partition_offset 16
-boot-info-table
-isohybrid-mbr "/usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin"
-e boot/grub/efi.img
-o $DEST_ISO
.
Same issue, macbook can't detect my usb drive with my repacked ISO.
So then I found a forum post:
https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?pid=64229#p64229
And adapted it slightly:
xorriso -as mkisofs
-iso-level 3
-full-iso9660-filenames
-volid "Repack"
-eltorito-boot isolinux/isolinux.bin
-eltorito-catalog isolinux/boot.cat
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table
-isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/ISOLINUX/isohdpfx.bin
-eltorito-alt-boot
-e boot/grub/efi.img
-no-emul-boot -isohybrid-gpt-basdat
-o $DEST_ISO
.
However, now xorriso complains
Cannot find in ISO image: -boot_image ... bin_path='/isolinux/isolinux.bin'
What? Why is xorriso looking in / now? I clearly passed isolinux/isolinux.bin in my command, not /isolinux/isolinux.bin.

The Captcha test does not let me in. So as comment: Read paragraph 1 to 4 of wiki.debian.org/RepackBootableISO . This explains how to repack like the original amd64 or i386 ISOs. Your last try is quite near to that. But '/isolinux/isolinux.bin' is missing in the ISO. I.e. './isolinux/isolinux.bin' is missing in in your local filesystem.
