So, basically, every well-behaved OS will drop a (set of) files
somewhere under /EFI/<vendor>/, except for OS X which expects the
BIOS/firmware to bypass all that mundane stuff and go straight for
/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi on a the selected boot
partition, and only fall back to /EFI/* if that doesn't pan out :)
But now I think it's starting to make sense. Chameleon's stage2
loader, named "boot" (which we're starting via "-kernel boot", and
which is the only piece of Chameleon we need) is apparently equivalent
to Apple's "boot.efi", which it bypasses, and which I think is what
Alex was talking about (i.e., eventually getting TianoCore to pick
up and run "boot.efi" as left behind by the vanilla OS X installer).
Thanks again for the helpful links !!!
