OK. As discussed on IRC, we're aware of this serious issue. A great part of the problem may be solved relatively easily by shipping a hybrid ISO again [1]. A first useful set of reports would be to try our obsolete Mac installation instructions [2] with a Tails ISO that was hybrided first, either with `isohybrid` (from the syslinux package, on GNU/Linux) or with `isohybrid.pl` (Perl version, can be taken from the syslinux source, should hopefully work on OSX), and reporting back if it works, how exactly it fails, and the exact hardware model / version. Also, trying with refind instead of refit would be nice too. Runa and other Mac users, could you please try this? The remaining part of the problem will be solved by adding UEFI support [3] to Tails. We're currently making plans with Debian Live upstream so that this support is added there, and benefits all Debian Live systems.
