[Bug 1429030] Re: netboot mini.iso doesn't support UEFI boot

[Piotr Martycz]

^ Please ignore my last comment, it still works just doesn't show grub
menu and requires more patience before something useful appears on
screen.

FWIW, i've created a script for downloading/unpacking mini.iso adding
UEFI support

https://gist.github.com/pmartycz/74da258f6d876862b88caa9b4026b1c2

E.g.

$ ubuntu-mini-iso-uefi focal

Then you can just move files from focal/ to your FAT formatted boot
media.

Title:
  netboot mini.iso doesn't support UEFI boot

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The amd64 mini.iso (in at least trusty through current vivid) has an
  EFI boot partition, but it's empty. This renders the image unbootable
  on systems without BIOS boot enabled.

  This is easily worked around by copying {boot,grub}x64.efi from eg. a
  desktop image into the empty partition.
