I was more delivering the message that Fedora's grub supports efi ;) I found these, but no official fedora installation docs (that I could find): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EFI http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2009/12/using-uefi-duet-to-boot-fedora-12.html http://blog.christophersmart.com/2009/07/23/linux-on-an-apple-xserve-efi-only-machine/ 'man grub.efi' would be awesome but no such luck...
