5.3.5.2 CD-ROM Media Device Path

The CD-ROM Media Device Path is used to define a system partition that exists on a CD-ROM.

The CD-ROM is assumed to contain an ISO-9660 file system and follow the CD-ROM “El Torito”

format. The Boot Entry number from the Boot Catalog is how the “El Torito” specification defines

the existence of bootable entities on a CD-ROM. In EFI the bootable entity is an EFI System

Partition that is pointed to by the Boot Entry.
