Given that I don't really understand how this additional firmware
partition stuff is supposed to fit together (i.e. what impact changing
its partition number or adding another VFAT partition etc would have
on the code which finds/loads from it) I'm

i understand that debian-cd mailing list is in charge

Hi,
Ian Campbell:
Thank you (again?) for all the excellent info you've provided here and
in your followups.
I hope this does not mean that enough is said on that topic.
It seems (IMHO only) that mini.iso is mostly useful for d-i developers
to dev test the netboot installer images without

I did not guess too bad with my repacking experiment.
But this does not explain how the empty FAT partition
got to the end of mini.iso

Hi,
it might be more simple to just append efi.img as
additional partition rather than unpacking it into
the partition for custom firmware.

Hi,
Summary:
There are two EFI System Partitions in mini.iso.
The one for booting from USB stick or qemu -hdb is indeed empty.
One could try whether it helps to copy the files from the FAT
image /boot/grub/efi.img in the ISO to MBR partition 2:

Hi all,
The ISO in question was in fact the same one mentioned
(http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-amd64/20150107/images/netboot/mini.iso).
I have copied the contents of efi.img to the FAT partition and it does
boot on my EFI firmware now. Thank you!

I'm using the jessie rc1 amd64 mini.iso and the EFI partition doesn't
seem to have anything in it. It should have efi/boot/bootarch.efi for
EFI firmware to load properly. It also doesn't seem to exist in the i386
