Yehuda,
Cool. Yes, and it seems the one I got also has a built-in mini-os with a
shell that can run an editor on files in the EFI partition. Very useful
for the (multiple) times when it wouldn't boot because of a typo in the
elilo.conf
thanks!

That is true. Most (all?) EFI systems will let you choose an arbitrary
file to boot from the "bios" boot menu (when you hit F11/F12/whatever
your uses for the boot menu). Some manufacturers support doing
firmware updates like that too.
