Sorry for slow response; keep on getting lost here in the depths of Launchpad. I posted a picture to another Ask Ubuntu question. http://askubuntu.com/q/298819 and trying more recently gives similar results with main difference being cd0,apple1 and cd0,apple2 are found. I will see about borrowing a camera to get a better representation of what is actually happening currently. The only thing that i have done that may have had any influence on this is installing rEFInd (which installs its own efi iso.9660 drivers) and burnt a new disc (due to cat taking a walk on my disc when it was left lying about). The same .iso was used so this should not be relevant. checksums have been checked on .iso and veryified disk when burning. This is all using 13.04 Desktop amd64.iso.

Getting to the black grub screen indicates liveDVD has booted EFI mode but iIt is when a kernel is selected i get the "can not read file" or cd and "you need to load the kernel first" errors.

Using lsefisystab also confirms system is booting live DVD EFI mode. Will do this again and try to report actual outcome.
