BTW, it's really easy to test efi image with the latest refit. Just
install refit 0.11 in OS X, and it would be used as the default boot
manager. Then, copy an efi image to / or /efi/xxxx/ of any
fat/ext2/ext3/hfs+/reiserfs partition (remember to install the fs
module, though), and it show up automatically in the boot menu.

You can verify it with refit 0.9 which use ia32 image. Download the
binary package, extract refit.efi to the root directory, and it should
be in the menu. When you choose it, it would say unsupported image.
