Issue #368 has been updated by alfplayer.

The new ISO 2013.09.01 could help with this problem.
Related to UEFI: the introduction of Secure Boot in Arch ISOs is being held back, and gummiboot is being kept. Details: https://wiki.parabolagnulinux.org/Hacking:Parabolaiso#Secure_Boot_vs._Restricted_Boot

Bug #368: Error booting CD on MacBook

Target version:
I burned parabola-2013.04.27-dual.iso on a CD and when I booted a MacBook with it, the computer got stuck at this screen:
1.
2.
Select CD-Rom Boot Type:_
There is a discussion of the same problem on Redhat here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527443
...including a workaround, which I adapted to the Parabola image this way:
# mount -t iso9960 parabola-2013.04.27-dual.iso /mnt
# mkdir /tmp/image
# cp -a /mnt/* /tmp/image
# mkisofs -iso-level 2 -V PARABOLA_201304 -J -r -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o /tmp/parabola-2013.04.27-dual_MACBOOK.iso /tmp/image
The resulting image can boot the MacBook.
I think this is a bug because the Ubuntu CDs boot fine.
