I've never used it.. I was more delivering the message that Fedora's
grub supports efi ;)

I found these, but no official fedora installation docs (that I could find):
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EFI
http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2009/12/using-uefi-duet-to-boot-fedora-12.html
http://blog.christophersmart.com/2009/07/23/linux-on-an-apple-xserve-efi-only-machine/

'man grub.efi' would be awesome but no such luck...

Cc'ing Peter who should be able to steer you in the right direction.
