Hi,
I try to run Clonezilla SE on Mac Pro using iPXE menu entry from ClonezillLive image.
When I burn the image on the CD everything works fine (holding the option key, the Windows partition appears) then I choose "Network boot via iPXE" menu entry, Clonezilla loads from the tftp server and so on. But, I'cant get the same thing on the USB key.
I follow the tutorial https://drbl.org/faq/fine-print.php?path=./2_System/121_pxe_boot_mac_machine.faq#121_pxe_boot_mac_machine.faq
and even the boot menu (efi boot) doesn't appear (not mention about Windows icon).
I know that uEFI network boot does not work for Mac. So could you tell me how can I create bootable USB with the same "Windows" icon as it is on the CD image? What type of Linux tool can format the usb so that Windows option appears? I think this is an ISOLINUX but can we put them on the usb stick?
Thank you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Did you follow https://clonezilla.org/liveusb.php
to put Clonezilla live on your USB flash drive?
It works both for legacy BIOS and EFI, and of course, for Mac.

@Steven, but for Macs do you need to do anything else but to format the partition as GUID and unpack the AMD64 zip file on the USB stick? Then hold the alt-button on start?
Edit To answer myself, this seems to be sufficient for UEFI boot.
The page you linked to in 2018 seem to specifically concern Windows bootability. I can't make that happen either on a 32-bit machine needing MBR — tried Tuxedo as well as manual — so had to resort to a Unetbootin build made on a Mac. Unfortunately this version (1.1.0-8) seems incomplete, so that's why I needed to move the image creating and restoring to a 64-bit machine, even if I managed to read my cloned NTFS partitions.
I don't fully understand why the Unetbootin version cannot be the same as the zip version? I guess I have to take a look at the Unetbootin project.
