OK, the 2007 Mac does not recognize any of the isos below.

The 2012 mac shows two options, "Windows" and "EFI Boot", in this order, 
on these ISOs:

http://82.193.153.141/minimal.iso
http://82.193.153.141/minimal-hybrid.iso

The 2012 Mac shows two working "EFI Boot" options on this ISO:

http://82.193.153.141/minimal-grub2-repacked-fdisked.iso

Will now try without the Apple partition map, because it looks like it 
can be eliminated without harming the Mac 2012 boot.
