As far as configuring EFI. You need to have some other source to store the files to set it up. I think it could be done from the install DVD from terminal, but you still need a mountable source other than your OSX drive to run the startupfiletool.

No. there are instructions included in the download for EFI that allows you to install it in Single User Mode. No need for a USB device or another partition or anything. (As long as you're not using Grub or some other boot loader that is...)
Create directory iamefi in the root folder of your boot osx disk.
Copy all included files into it
Boot in Single User mode by mashing F8 key during boot (right after bios POST) type -s and press enter
Then enter the following commands
cd /iamefi
./startupfiletool /dev/rdiskXsX ./boot_v8
reboot
Whereas rdiskXsX is the partition where your OSX install is (you can check that out on Disk Utility in OSX)
And v* is the EFI version bootloader you wish to use. |
