Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1118

Describe the bug
Booting Darik's Boot And Nuke using the netboot.xyz USB image fails every time

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Boot netboot.xyz in either UEFI or MBR mode on a physical machine
  2. Attempt to boot either the x86 or x86_64 version of DBAN
  3. DBAN fails to boot to the main wiping screen

Expected behavior
DBAN boots completely, and shows the main screen that allows the user to proceed with the data wipe.

Screenshots
None, but I will add some later if I can reproduce this in a virtual machine

Additional context
n/a

@antonym commented on GitHub (May 27, 2022):

DBAN is not in a UEFI option, you may want to use ShredOS instead as DBAN is no longer maintained upstream. I'm able to boot DBAN under legacy mode on the latest build.
