Hi,
I could swear that some time back some version of archboot media gave me the choice to select grub2-efi-32-bit.
Was this dropped?
Yes it was removed wrt booting the iso from 32-bit EFI. But the setup script still supports installing grub2-efi-i386 if you can download the package.
I've been trying to install arch only (single boot) on a EFI-32 mac. Due to not being able to convinve (bless) rEFIt without having OS X installed to not come up with a delay of >= 20seconds, I wanted to use EFI.
Can you try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=54847 ?
The mac has onboard intel i915 graphics which I know to work out of the box. Would this give me any issues like the nvidia guys with using EFI?
No idea. Non-Mac UEFI user here (with ATI card).
What is the exact issue I have to be careful about to not brick the firmware with EFI? I know I shouldn't use efitbootmgr on mac efi. What else is dangerous?
Thanks,
Carsten
