Install to a "hidden" EFI partition?

[karacho]

I use this too. It's described there -> http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/01/tweaking-your-system-install-chameleon.html

Hint: Search for the EfiMounter App. And...if you have more than one OSX HD's in your Rig, run Terminal and type diskutil list before to find out what's your Efi partition

I use Chameleon Wizard to configure and update Chameleon on EFI. This application can mount/unmount EFI partitions.

I don't know Chameleon Wizard...sounds interresting. Nice find

Can't generate Extensions.mkext on EFI...

OT:
Can't generate Extensions.mkext on EFI. When I drag /Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions to Kext Utility (v2.5.0b) i get this:

Detected ... MAC OS X "Lion".

Task: Pack "/Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions"
to "/Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions.mkext"

Repair Permissions for "/Volumes/EFI/Extra/Extensions" ... Done.
-- Total processed: 187 files (22 kexts) for 1 sec.

Found i386 (arch) only kext(s).
Packing i386 (arch) "Extensions.mkext" ...
Sorry, could not create "Extensions.mkext"

Can I leave EFI without a extensions.mkext? All seems to work properly.

Just copy the whole /Extra folder from your EFI partition to the normal partition and do the steps again, after finishing copy it back to the EFI partition and delete it on the normal partition

All of this its very nice, but ... I have two questions!

1) Chameleon Wizard can mount the EFI partition if it is HFS. But How do you use it on a Fat32 partition? (I know I can copy those files, but dont they need some fdisk/dd to make them work?)

2) ¿How I make all of this to work with a "UEFI booting"/"UEFI windows 7 installation"?

Thanks in advance and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
