Hi,

I got a mail from a bystander, Ady Ady whom i know from SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX
mailing list. He proposes the experiment to exchange the whole EFI partition
of the Guix ISO by the one of Debian Live 9.
This will not be able to really boot Guix, of course. But if the Mac's
boot manager shows it and is willing to start the bootx64.efi program,
then the FAT filesystem's meta data become prime suspect.
The EFI partition of Debian Live 9 is smaller than the one of Guix 0.16.0.
So after these steps :

mount the Debian Live 9 ISO (e.g. at /mnt/iso) and do
dd if=/mnt/iso/boot/grub/efi.img of=/dev/sdc2
Have a nice day :)
