Description of problem: Documentation refers to efidisk.img file in the images/ directory on the Fedora 18 installation DVD. This file doesn't exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F18 DVD final Steps to Reproduce: 1. Mount ISO or disk. 2. Navigate to images folder. 3. Actual results: There is no efidisk.img. Expected results: Unclear. Should documentation be referring to efiboot.img? Additional info:
Turns out documentation probably means efiboot.img, however efiboot.img is not minimal boot media for UEFI computers. It's only a boot loader, no vmlinuz, initrd, system, or installer. So the user doesn't actually get to a functioning installer by using efiboot.img. The correct answer is they need to use netinst.iso which is identical to boot.iso. So really the chapter 3.0 preface and prefix need updating, and probably section 3.3.1 can just be yanked because there's nothing unique about UEFI anymore, other than media is only x86_64.

Thanks for this, Chris. You've identified a lot of outdated installation media information between this and bug 904292 - much appreciated. I've already fixed the efiboot.img mention in the 'Boot and installation media' table in bug 904292. For this bug, I've removed the UEFI subsection, changed boot.iso to netinst.iso, and removed other architecture-specific references now that the section applies to all architectures.
