Indeed. Probably i would also have adopted "loo-thingy" while my head
was wrapped around the partition table stuff.
Have a nice day :)

No loopback is needed. fdisk will operate directly on the ISO image file
as it would operate on the

Can't you talk its firmware into BIOS emulating legacy mode ?
You could even use program fdisk to delete partition entry 2 in the ISO
in order to take away the USB boot lure for EFI. Some firmwares are
said to fall back to BIOS emulation automatically.

Steve McIntyre and i understood John's statement that after dd or cp
there is a MBR partition table on the USB stick. The following

Besides, what's wrong with booting in legacy mode ?
You have to keep changing the bios settings whenever you boot the memory stick
on an EFI computer.

In 2016 the Gentoo ISOs were BIOS-only.
I now downloaded install-amd64-minimal-20180913T214501Z.iso which looks
much like a Debian ISO, partition-wise.

"On dd, and cp" ?
By default, the Debian installer creates a DOS partition table when
booted in BIOS/legacy mode and a GPT partition table when booted in EF
Thomas,
Thank you for clarification on the layout, as it is in fact most helpful
in understanding GPT cruft. As a Gentoo user, I can in fact boot
system-rescue-cd and Knoppix as EFI USB. Sadly, this seems like one
more nail in the coffin of reasons I need to upgrade my PC. I cannot

In the case of the isohybrid partition layout of Matthew J. Garrett,
which is used by Debian for i386 and amd64, the MBR is not protective.
A bit confusing can be the GPT partition table debris that follows the MB
As an update,
Ive tested devuan, debian, and ubuntu media on a newer laptop (2015)
which seems to recognize the EFI partition and boot normally.
my desktop (2012) does not seem to understand 0xEF...I wish I knew why.

Correct sir, I am having issues installing to an asus sabertooth 990
motherboard. namely, the boot override menu fails to recognize the EFI
media as a proper EFI bootable target.
As I understand, a Protective MBR may be located at LBA 0 (i.e., the first

Sorry, that's incorrect. It's perfectly valid in the UEFI spec for an
