Subject: Booting EFI (or work-arounds to install 9front on GPT partition)?

Hi
I have been trying to boot an installation medium with EFI and failed (first
USB, now also burned CD). I need to go back and make notes for which
combinations that gave which errors ...
Booting with EFI for both USB and CD stopped at a place where it says "boot".
One of the alternatives stopped just before then in some sort of shell (I
could not exit to rc using !rc) and I had to give the variable "bootfile"
before giving the command "boot". Since I could not navigate or "ls" anywhere
I could not figure out the location of the bootfile. The other alternative got
further and froze at "boot".
One error that I see after the "dump" of various numbers is an error with IRQ
7 if that helps...
With the burned CD and BIOS boot, I get to the installer but it can not see my
GPT partitions so I guess 9front needs to be booted with EFI to make use of
GPT partitions?
