This works nicely for me. The steps are: 1) build grub for efi 32bit a efi 64bit 2) use mkimage to add all modules (except kernel) to grub.efi 3) format a fat32/mbr flash disk 3) copy the appropriate .efi images to the directory structure as above 4) create a grub.cfg and remember to include a font if needed Now the plug the flash disk into a mac and start/restart it while holding ALT. The boot menu welcomes you with a EFI boot option even before it finds the OS X boot options ;-) Thanks Michal _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
