It is. Basically you have a choice. Install grub into EFI, and use grub as your boot manager. Or ditch grub (the recommended route) and use EFI as your boot manager. EFI can't boot my ISO images (sysrescuecd and memtest86+.)

If you do the latter, whether it's called /boot or /boot/EFI, you have to update the EFI directory. Cheers, Wol
