Crappy implementations from Apple? Sorry, I've been scorned several times and I'm frankly not impressed with the effort exerted to make their EFI impl decent (largely because I think they don't want it to be as robust as it could be).

Thanks for the downvotes. You all must have an EFI that boots installation media reliably, or have one that has a proper BIOS emulation with usb support, or have one that has support for graphics switching when not in OS X, or have one that doesn't require an HFS+ partition with "bless"ings.
