I don't have a helpful comment here, but I certainly wish you luck.
Sometime 4th quarter, Apple has planned to release their new Mac Pro, aka
Mac-mini Pro, aka trashcan Mac.
Nothing would make me happier that to purchase one of these for use as a desktop
and to run OI on it, then to be able to run OS X server legally in a VM.

Hi all,
Is there some magic required to boot OI on laptops with EFI?
I did not have any luck with a usb drive in a store yesterday, on
their display machines, and since I want to buy one explicitly for
OI/Illumos development I really want one that has the basics working
out of the box.
Of course I'm not 100% sure I created the usb bootable thing
correctly, so I'll give that a try over the weekend or something, on
yesteryear's hardware, before trying again.
If there're recommendations for some models, I'm also all ears.
My current requirement list: nvidia, intel cpu, working ethernet.
