I believe the FAQ4 section on multibooting is placing all Grub2 based
distributions into the same bucket incorrectly.  Debian and its
derivatives utilize a different path to BOOTX64.EFI and are amendable to
multibooting with OpenBSD.  See attached patch for details.

 In either case, you are completely on your own.
