A bit OT maybe: but I'm just curious if there are issues booting Linux on a non-Apple EFI-based PC. I mean, a number of manufacturers are already producing motherboard with EFI rather than BIOS firmware, e.g., Asus and MSI. Presumably, the reason is to allow booting the 3GB+ hard disk drives that are coming off the line.
