Hi,
To boot a live CD by using EFI, what stuff I need to add into the Live
CD? Any instruction for that? I know normally legacy booting by using
Syslinux but it does not support EFI as far as I know.
Thanks in advance.

Use livecd-iso-to-disk from the master branch. I just pushed a number of
changes fixing up EFI support and have tested it fairly extensively.

Sorry I have not been following this... does that imply that most
Intel Macs should just work?
I don't know about 'most' but it does work on my 2007 MacBook. Where you
run into trouble is if you want to install it and dual boot. When I was
doing that I had to use rEFIt on OSX to get it working with Fedora as
the 2nd OS.

Hi,
I checked the Fedora 14 installation CD. There are 2 files efiboot.img
and efidisk.img in images directory. What are functions are those
files? It seems EFI boot needs GRUB to boots up the OS. And what's the
function of EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.conf file? Is there any special entry in
this file?
Thanks very much.
