Ticket: [[!tails_ticket 6242]] [[!toc levels=2]] Status ====== At least on some Mac's, once feature/uefi is merged, Tails can boot fine without rEFInd: one has to press Alt before powering the laptop up, and keep it pressed until a menu appears, and then choose the entry that's called *Boot EFI* (as every other entry) and looks like a USB stick. Resources ========= * Mike Hommey's [Debian EFI mode boot on a Macbook Pro, without rEFIt](http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2830). * Matthew Garrett detailed [the ISO images for Fedora 17 installation CD](http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/11285.html) and [their Mac support](http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12037.html): it supports BIOS, UEFI, Mac platforms when burned to a CD or written directly to a USB stick. This might be nice for the ISO that Tails distribute, but not applicable to support USB sticks with incremental updates. * <http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind> * <http://refind.sf.net> * <http://refit.sf.net/info/apple_efi.html> * <http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter4/efiprogramming> * <http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter4/firmware> * <http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/EFI>
