Installing fedora 23 in a Late 2013 Mac Pro

I just finished installing Fedora 23.

Installing on a Mac is still unpleasant, but things are getting better.

* Copying the live .iso to a usb stick with dd just works.
* The install program wants to have a /boot that is ext4 and a
/boot/efi that is hfs. Just play along for now.
* After installation, chroot to the installed system and remove grub2
(rpm -e the various packages).
* Save the files from /boot, unmount it and remove it from fstab
* Mount the hfs+ partition as /boot, add that to the fstab, add the
files you saved.
* bootctl refuses to do anything if /boot is not fat32, so just
manually copy systemd-bootx64.efi to /boot
* From OS X run

sudo bless --setBoot --folder /Volumes/XYZ --file
/Volumes/XYZ/systemd-bootx64.efi

And that is it. The system boots pretty fast and new kernels show up
in the boot menu.

Cheers,
Rafael
