We certainly do support UEFI, but with few exceptions - we do not (yet) support 
secure boot - it should be switched off. And secondly, we do not currently have 
way to set EFI boot manager variables, so the boot program is installed as 
generic binary on ESP/efi/boot/bootx64.efi. If there are multiple systems, one 
would need to create vendor tree on ESP, copy bootx64.efi there and set up UEFI 
boot manager variables accordingly.
