Hm.
According to:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EFI

"x86_64 installation | 99 | Install working now for Intel boxes, UEFI
2.1. Not working on MACs, untested on any other hardware platforms and
likely to need further debug there."

That "Not working on MACs" bit suggests that I'm not going to be able
to do this.
