I don't have a helpful comment here, but I certainly wish you luck.
Sometime 4th quarter, Apple has planned to release their new Mac Pro, aka Mac-mini Pro, aka trashcan Mac.
Nothing would make me happier that to purchase one of these for use as a desktop and to run OI on it, then to be able to run OS X server legally in a VM.

Hi all, Is there some magic required to boot OI on laptops with EFI? I did not have any luck with a usb drive in a store yesterday, on their display machines, and since I want to buy one explicitly for OI/Illumos development I really want one that has the basics working out of the box. Of course I'm not 100% sure I created the usb bootable thing correctly, so I'll give that a try over the weekend or something, on yesteryear's hardware, before trying again. If there're recommendations for some models, I'm also all ears. My current requirement list: nvidia, intel cpu, working ethernet.
