The general idea is 1) make a bootable CD/usb stick/... with syslinux for your platform 2) copy the live files and syslinux configuration from a live medium 3) test that the medium boots 4) figure out if the EFI bootloader and BIOS bootloader can coexist on single medium 5) make a script for automating 1) failing 1) do 1 alt) make bootable CD/usb stick/.. with grub for your platform 1 alt continued) fix grub support in debian-live The problem with EFI support is few people actually need it and are willing to test prototypes of it. There are some people who hacked together support for a particular device but did not bother to do 5) Thanks Michal
