Description

**Describe the bug**
I've tried booting helloSystem's installer on a Mid-2007 iMac. It does not boot, saying it can't find /boot/lua/loader.lua (which is, however, present on the USB key I'm using).
I have tried booting with Ventoy, without sucess ("Not a secure boot platform 14"). I have then tried booting helloSystem directly, using both GPT and MBR partition tables, without success either.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Create a bootable USB key with helloSystem 0.7.0
2. Try to boot it on a 2007 iMac

**Expected behavior**
The system boots.
