EFI Boot

  • MacBook i7 with option key on boot
finds USB EFI
dropping to a debug shell:
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

  1. Looks like new grub-EFI may be included on live builds
Proposing as NTH for F16 Final (10/11/2011) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735023
This may mean that a f 16 Soas Live USB would boot on a EFI (Mac) computer.
