Bug Description
I attempted to boot the .iso file on my EFI machine and... no joy. Upon investigation, it appears that EFI bootloader files and folders are missing from the .iso.
As such, I would be happy to work on and implement the necessary bootloader so that EFI machines can boot the .iso.

Erich, that for the report. It could be because we are not build from official seeds yet and therefore some of the boot loaders are not present in the live session.
I'll review what is install on stock Ubuntu and try to mimic that in our custom livecd-rootfs package. If you have any indight into what EFI boot loader you'd use then package names are useful. I have no EFI hardware.
