Hi,
Ady:

This is most probably wrong, as this seems to be the prescribed
name for a file inside the EFI-understandable filesystem.
This filesystem would not be the ISO 9660 but rather the FAT
image file which serves as EFI boot image.

This might be better. From where did you learn that name ?
I still did not find information about how to create the FAT image.
My best guess for now is to simply install enough SYSLINUX in a
FAT filesystem image, so that it can chainload isolinux.bin from
the ISO filesystem.

But that's just a speculation. Maybe somebody should peek into
Fedora Live CD:
# mount -o loop Fedora-Live-Desktop-x86_64-20-1.iso /mnt/iso
# mount -o loop /mnt/iso/isolinux/efiboot.img /mnt/fat
$ find /mnt/fat/efi/boot
/mnt/fat/efi/boot
/mnt/fat/efi/boot/fonts
/mnt/fat/efi/boot/fonts/unicode.pf2
/mnt/fat/efi/boot/grub.cfg
/mnt/fat/efi/boot/bootx64.efi
/mnt/fat/efi/boot/grubx64.efi
Hrmpf. Obviously not SYSLINUX equipment in there.
Anybody can shed light on that issue ?
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
