Normally the boot images are data files inside the ISO filesystem. By
special path "--interval:appended_partition_NNN:all::" it is possible to
refer to an appended partition. The number NNN gives the partition number
as used with the corresponding option -append_partition.
E.g.:
@*
-append_partition 2 0xef /tmp/efi.img
@*
-e --interval:appended_partition_2:all::

There are booting mechanisms which do not use an El Torito record but rather

hard-disk-like devices,

"imported_iso" demands to read from the -indev. This works only if -outdev
is not the same as -indev. The Source component is ignored.

"appended_partition_NNN" with a decimal number NNN works only for -boot_image
bootspecs which announce El Torito boot image paths: bin_path=, efi_path=.
The number gives the partition number as used with the corresponding
option -append_partition.

The component Interval consists of two byte address numbers separated by a "-" character. E.g. "0-429" means to read bytes 0 to 429.

The component Zeroizers consists of zero or more comma separated strings.
