Re: [Mactel-linux-users] Booting From USB Drive

In theory, it is possible: all Intel Macs can boot from USB (AFAIK).
But the legacy BIOS in those Macs does not support booting from USB.
So you'll have to boot using EFI.

I've been trying to do that on-and-off, in the hope to get my trusty
"rescue USB key" to also work on my Macbook Pro, but until now I haven't
had much success, tho it seems that some people do get to boot Linux via
EFI on their Mac.

Any information about this would be welcome,
