There really isn't. "efi" and "uefi" are synonymous in this context. If
you use UEFI booting, then the boot logic mounts the UEFI boot partition
at /boot/efi and that's where the UEFI boot magic happens. If you're not
sure if you use UEFI, try "ls /sys/firmware/efi". If you get:

	[root@prophead ~]# ls /sys/firmware/efi
	ls: cannot access '/sys/firmware/efi': No such file or directory

then you're not using UEFI.

As far as the grub.cfg being hidden on UEFI systems, it really isn't.
The path to it is "/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg".
