Preparation
I started to read this:
- https://wiki.debian.org/iMacIntel
- https://www.neontribe.co.uk/crunchbangplusplus-install-on-imac-52/
- https://mattgadient.com/2016/07/11/linux-dvd-images-and-how-to-for-32-bit-efi-macs-late-2006-models/
Then I downloaded Debian for AMD64.

bash-3.2# mount | grep UNTIT /dev/disk7s2 on /Volumes/UNTITLED (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners) bash-3.2# umount /dev/disk7s2 umount(/Volumes/UNTITLED): Resource busy -- try 'diskutil unmount' bash-3.2# diskutil unmount /dev/disk7s2 Volume UNTITLED on disk7s2 unmounted bash-3.2# dd if=debian-9.8.0-amd64-netinst.iso of=/dev/disk7 598016+0 records in 598016+0 records out 306184192 bytes transferred in 630.153914 secs (485888 bytes/sec) bash-3.2# sync bash-3.2# diskutil eject /dev/disk7 Disk /dev/disk7 ejected bash-3.2#
Okay. That didn't work out. Booting the iMac with Option-Key down doesn't show the stick.
Preparing the boot CD[2]
Burning a CD? Oh well..
Okay. That was another fail. Obviously, the standard ISOs can't be read by this Mac's EFI. Okay, starting over. Again.
