Fedora on Mactel
Fedora 17 adds support for booting and installing via EFI on Mac hardware. Support is currently limited to machines with 64-bit firmware, which is most hardware produced after mid-2007. You can verify your system's firmware under OS X by running:
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
If this returns "Firmware-abi" = < "EFI64"> then your system is supported.
