$ sudo grub-probe -t fs /boot/grub
Error: failed to get canonical path of /boot/grub
$ sudo grub-probe -t fs /efi/boot
Error: failed to get canonical path of /efi/boot

$ sudo grub-probe -d /dev/sda1
Fat
$ sudo grub-probe -d /dev/sda2
Hfsplus

$ sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/sda1/efi/boot
Runs without errors

..but creates /mnt/sda1/efi/boot/grub/grub.efi, which is not recognized on 
booting the mac with <alt gr> pressed.

Copying/renaming grub.efi -> /mnt/sda1/efi/boot/BOOTX64.EFI boots, but no usb 
keyboard/mouse

Grub.cfg:

menuentry "core64" {
  set root=(hd1,gpt4)
  linux /boot/vmlinuz64 quiet noswap tce=sda4 tz=GMT-4 host=macminitc syslog 
blacklist=bcma blacklist=ssb blacklist=b43 text
  initrd /boot/core64.gz
}

Even with grub-install insmod is required, but anyway:

Insmod videotest
Insmod efi_gop
Videotest
[drops down a line, but no further output]
<ctrl c>
Color 0: ff000000
Color 1: ffa80000
...
Color 15: fffefefe

Note that the video is output via hdmi -> dvi adapter that came with the mac 
mini
