Package: debian-installer Severity: important Hi,
The i386 version of d-i installs GRUB to the EFI partition at the end of the installation process. The files installed are /EFI/debian/grub.efi and grubia32.efi. Intel Macbooks from 2006-2007 (Macbook1,1 and Macbook2,1) have a somewhat peculiar EFI implementation and do not boot with the EFI files in this location. When either of the (identical) GRUB EFI files is copied to /EFI/boot/bootia32.efi the firmware finds it and booting is successful. D-i should detect Macbooks with 32-bit EFI and install the GRUB files to the appropriate location in that case. When grub-install is called with the --removable flag, the EFI bootloader is installed to the correct location, /EFI/boot/bootia32.efi.
