Re: [Bug-xorriso] Test Proposal for [bug #46716] Protective MBR partition is not marked as bootable

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

i see that in my test proposal i forgot the Mac specific options

   -apm-block-size 2048 -hfsplus

They are not supposed to influence x86 BIOS or EFI.
Nevertheless it would be better to include them in the test.

 $ xorriso -as mkisofs \
      -o minimal-grub2-repacked.iso \
      -r \
      --modification-date='2015121916023100' \
      -b /boot/grub/i386-pc/eltorito.img \
      --grub2-mbr minimal-grub2.mbr \
      -c '/boot.catalog' \
      -b '/boot/grub/i386-pc/eltorito.img' \
         -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table --grub2-boot-info \
      -eltorito-alt-boot \
      -e '/efi.img' \
        -no-emul-boot \
     -append_partition 2 0xef /mnt/iso/efi.img \
     -apm-block-size 2048 \
     -hfsplus \
     /mnt/iso

(We would get into trouble with APM if GPT had blocksize 4 K.)

The result (after dd patching) is supposed to look like
