So you had the ISOs on CD or DVD, not on USB stick ?

Question is whether Macbook 2,1 interprets El Torito like
PC firmware would do in this situation.

How old is Macbook 2,1 anyway ?
(I learned about old, new, very new Macs, but never got
 some tangible description about which ones boot by what.)

Do you have any ISO or medium that would boot on this machine ?

This would match the number of El Torito Boot images in those ISOs.
Ubuntu mini.iso has
  /isolinux.bin for BIOS
  /boot/grub/efi.img for EFI
Fedora Live-CD (2 years old) has
  /isolinux/isolinux.bin for BIOS
  /isolinux/efiboot.img for EFI containing FAT
  /isolinux/macboot.img for EFI containing HFS+

Do you get any progress if you select one blindly ?
Probably 2 and 3 would be good candidates.

Have a nice day :)
