I have a mid-2012 MacBook Pro retina system - a 10,1 machine with 2.7GHz i7, 
750 gig SSD, and the Intel HD Graphics 4000.

I put Qubes 3.1 on an 8 gig USB and booted the system with option key held 
down. Qubes shows up as "EFI Boot" and it starts to a menu with four options:

Test media and install Qubes R3.1
Install Qubes R3.1
Troubleshooting - verbose boot and Install Qubes R3.1
Rescue a Qubes System

I tried the first three and played a bit with the command prompt. When selected 
the options flash something about a "file path:" which passes to quickly for me 
to see, then it returns to the menu.

My install target is an external USB 3.0 enclosure with a 120 gig SSD that does 
a good job of running OSX. I was motivated to attempt this direct install based 
on this article, which explains how to get the Broadcom BCM4313 wireless card 
working. I realize the author installed Qubes using a PC, then shifted to 
running it on a 10,1 Mac similar to mine.

Next I'll try a PC install to the external drive, then boot it on the Mac. I 
just wanted to leave this here in case anyone else is tempted to try this 
experiment.
