EFI support was certainly added for native EFI firmware, and tested
under such; gPXE didn't even compile under OS X until some patches
around this time last year. There just isn't any native EFI
documentation on the wiki, because nobody has contributed any. (You
could rectify this :-)

We'd be very interested in hearing the details of the runtime error.
