So far as I've read, while Apple will not make it impossible to run other OSs, they aren't going to go out of their way to make it easy. I'm more interested in the boot process it…

Wikipedia (fwiw) says this: EFI also provides for a small shell environment. Rather than booting directly into a full OS, the EFI end user can boot to EFI shell. The EFI shell is …
