Macbook: Boot Ubuntu DVD (install)
Posted: Sat Dec 16, 2017 7:23 pm
Here's one approach that worked for me, trying to boot a Xubuntu Linux (16.04) install DVD:
I've selected "EFI boot".
Links:
Startup key combinations for Mac (support.apple.com)
- Shutdown the Macbook
- Press the power button
- Hold the "Alt" key (option key) - Holding "C" won't work.
- When the boot-select screen shows up, it displays the built-in harddisk "Macintosh HD".
- Insert the Xubuntu DVD
- Wait...
- Now, 2 new boot options should appear: "Windows" and "EFI boot"
I've selected "EFI boot".
