Hello

You can use the bootable CD of your favourite distro. I hope that grub2.efi will become a default bootloader to install on efi system for major linux distributions 

The thought was just to avoid dependance on the apple pc-bios emulation and go toward a grub.efi installation as you suggest. (Also the apple Xserve machines do not have pc-bios emulation.)

 

The bootable cd can have both eltorito (bios) and grub2.efi

Could you determine the priority? E.g. if you have both blessed file and boot.efi in blessed directory which one is loaded?

In both these cases the blessed grub.efi file is selected and boots.

The boot.efi file here is a copy of the OSX boot.efi

But what happens if you do something like:
blessed folder -> /test1 contains boot.efi
blessed file -> /test2/grub2.efi

im81:~ pxw$ bless --info /Volumes/hfsp 

finderinfo[0]:   7891 => Blessed System Folder is <missing>

finderinfo[1]:   8123 => Blessed System File is /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/grub523.efi

im81:~ pxw$ bless --info /Volumes/hfsp 

finderinfo[0]:   8120 => Blessed System Folder is /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test

finderinfo[1]:   8123 => Blessed System File is /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/grub523.efi

im81:~ pxw$ ls /Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/*.efi

/Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/boot.efi

/Volumes/hfsp/efi/test/grub523.efi
