When I tried, my mac could not read the boot media.

(I have Snakeoil running from an SD card on a PC, but would like to try it out for a friend who only has a mac.)

MAC runs a UEFI only BIOS and at the moment I couldn't create a UEFI compatible ISO for Snakeoil. The online documentation I have found so far all don't seem to work. Intel NUCs are UEFI only too.

The code itself already run fine on Intel Mac hardware (I have tested this since Snakeoil 0.1), but that requires manual installation.

ATM I'm trying to migrate all my development work from one computer to another so I can free up my old computer to test UEFI booting. This has taken months and still not complete yet [Image: confused.png] (As I've chosen to use VMWare ESXi for virtualisation and that is very picky on hardware).

The idea is to sort out UEFI booting issues and release 0.1.5. Hope I can get this to work.

Thanks, good luck!
