It's worth noting that for the moment Red Hat finds their EFI version of Grub Legacy to be more stable than Grub 2 EFI. I myself have converted over to Grub2 entirely and have found both BIOS and EFI versions to work find on Macbook Pro 4,1 and 8,2. In my case I use CSM boot to Grub2 BIOS version when I want a GUI, because of problems with Apple's EFI implementation and video card drivers. When I want to boot off a USB stick and can tolerate text only booting, I use EFI boot to Grub2 EFI. In no case do I use rEFIt anymore. Anyway, point is you may want to use the Red Hat variant of Grub Legacy that has been modified for EFI, specifically the 32bit one. I will bet you can find a recent one on the Fedora 16 beta netboot.img although a newer one might be available on FC1. Final release of Fedora 16 is in a week if you want to wait. Otherwise I'd just snag the most current version of Fedora's Grub Legacy EFI from an i686 netboot.img and then redirect it to an x86_64 LiveCD or DVD ISO of either Fedora 16 or CentOS 6 if you want a more stable/static operating system to use for a server.
