Installing Linux on MacBook 2,1 with unresponsive CD-ROM
  1. Download and install rEFInd

Follow @astrofloyd's instructions, including:

  1. Obtain a copy of ISO 2 USB EFI Booter for Mac
  2. diskutil list to find the node name of your USB drive
  3. Format the USB drive with a single FAT32 partition (use diskutil eraseDisk fat32 UNTITLED /dev/diskX)
  4. cd into the drive and mkdir -p efi/boot (from the computer's root drive the path should look something like /dev/diskX/efi/boot)
  5. Copy bootIA32.efi onto the USB drive and rename it: cp /location/of/bootIA32.efi ./boot.efi
  6. Copy the Linux distribution .iso file and rename it to boot.efi
