This post is a compilation of things that I have found to configure properly an old Intel CoreDuo MacMini 1,1 that was upgraded to a MacMini 2,1 with an Intel Core2Duo T7200 processor following the known procedure and a brand new 2,1 EFI firmware (which is bizarrely missing at Apple).

Problem booting on USB flashdrive, I had to use a DVD. This ended up with a grub-pc BIOS install of Debian.
