Hi,
i created an ISO with this partition table:
$ /sbin/gdisk -l test.iso
...
MBR: protective
...
GPT: present
...
Number Start (sector) End (sector) Size Code Name
1 64 7713831 3.7 GiB 0700 ISO9660
2 7713832 7714663 416.0 KiB EF00 Appended2
by
mnt=/mnt/iso
sudo mount firmware-buster-DI-alpha2-amd64-DVD-1.iso "$mnt"
xorriso -as mkisofs \
-o test.iso \
-r \
-V 'Debian buster-DI-a2 amd64 1' \
-partition_offset 16 \
-append_partition 2 0xef "$mnt"/boot/grub/efi.img \
-appended_part_as_gpt \
"$mnt"
It will not work from DVD and not in BIOS Legacy mode. (On MS-Windows it
will not show long file names. I avoided complaints about symlinks by
avoiding option -J.)
But if started as reported by Rick Thomas:

then there should be a mountable Debian ISO in partition 1.
So the initrd stuff should get over the error occasion "Incorrect CD-ROM
detected".
(I meanwhile expressed my view about the ISO detection code in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2018/06/msg00000.html
)
Have a nice day :)
