[TriLUG] Linux and EFI

[Rick DeNatale]

I note that Apple just announced that new versions of OS/X will
include something called "boot camp" which will allow booting Windows
on intel-macs which use the new Intel "Extensible Firmware Interface"
instead of BIOS.

This got me to wondering about booting Linux on these machines, and
the state of EFI support for Linux.  Grub is pretty much tied to the
BIOS model, and I don't have any direct experience with lilo.

EFI support seems to be a feature of Grub 2 which appears to be in an
early stage of development, and there also seems to be an elilo, but
the project web page seems to be broken.

Any insights?
