You boot the DVD image and it automatically launches anaconda that resides on

Not in my case, it didn't. Not from the outset. The very first time I tried I
got grub, hit Enter and waited. Nothing other than the DVD finally spinning
down ever happened. It just sat there. Forever. And that was a DVD built from
a validated ISO downloaded from the Fedora site, BTW
(Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso).
There is a CAVEAT to booting EFI media. Most EFI will REQUIRE that the
media be installed at power up before it will enable it.
Try forcing a non boot with F2, F8, F11 or whatever, insert the EFI
enabled media, power off, power on, and it should install just fine.
Several systems we have tested do NOT check the media for EFI when
inserted, but only at power on.
These were Dell systems, if that makes a difference. I looked through
the intel "Beyond BIOS" book, and did not see this requirement
documented, but alot of things are not.
Good Luck!
