Yup the 32-bit EFI is fun. However, I know that the 32-bit EFI Mac Pro 1,1 will boot 64 bit Red Hat / CentOS. Because I've been using my CentOS Live DVD to try and get some data off a drive. So GRUB *will* do it, maybe MacPup doesn't include the 32-bit GRUB loader since they assume this is replacing a 64-bit OS X install?
