Sure, but if possible, let's make sure that the image is tested in all cases first.  I hope someone tests the image on a real EFI computer again.  (It works in qemu - but with the complexity of the EFI specification and all I'd rather someone burned it to DVD and tried to boot from it)

Then something like the following?
