Hello Ahmad.

Good shot! Here's how it went. I applied your patch to 14.3-RELEASE/amd64 with
slight modification (s/EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL/EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT/),
built and copied loader_ia32.efi to /EFI/BOOT/bootia32.efi on USB memstick,
pluged it into MacBook and powered up with Option key pressed. Soon as I select
USB as boot device, the loader starts and prints following message:

  No change detected in framebuffer -- error 0???Unable to reliably detect
frame
  buffer.???Unable to reliably detect the stride.???

A couple of seconds later normal boot process proceeds with all the regular
output from kernel visible, vidconsole works well, Installer is visible. I
toyed a little with the "Live System", everything seems good so far on this
MacBook.

The bad news is that it stopped working on 64-bit EFI system (tested on my
Lenovo laptop dated 2021) - no output after "Starting @ ...". I copied
loader.efi to /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi of course. Seems the selection algorithm is
not correct. Curretly trying to figure out how to fix it so that both GOP and
UGA could work.
