Description Chris Murphy 2014-07-01 18:57:15 UTC 
Description of problem:On Macs, using grub2-install properly creates a core.img, and tries to copy it as boot.efi onto the ESP but tries to put it in the wrong directory.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
grub2-efi-2.02-0.4.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install grub2-efi-modules.
2. grub2-install

Actual results:
From debug output:
grub2-install: info: copying `/boot/grub2/x86_64-efi/core.efi' -> `/boot/efi/EFI/grub/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi'.

As a result the Fedora HFS+ faux EFI System partition isn't recognized by the Apple firmware as a valid boot disk.

Expected results:

/boot/efi/EFI/grub/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi
Should be:
/boot/efi/System/Library/CoreServices/boot.efi

Additional info:
When moved to the correct location, the Fedora HFS+ "ESP" is displayed as a bootable volume by the Apple firmware, choosing it brings up the GRUB boot manager menu as expected.
