>Description:
The amd64 is bootable in EFI mode or by conventional means (is El Torito the correct term?).
On a legacy mac, the EFI boot manager built into the system firmware (accessed by holding option) will only present the EFI boot mode.

On a more recent mac, you'er present with two boot options for a medium.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the amd64 iso on a intel Mac, in this case, a 2007 17" MacBook Pro.
>Fix:
