No I did not. I do apologize I wasn't aware for EFI systems this was required. After I created the partition, the installation was smooth.
Wish I had known earlier :)
My Fedora 16 seem to have taken over. I was intending it to be dual boot.
I haven't tried this yet. I'm really happy with my Fedora install that I do not see the need for booting into OS X.
Trust me, I didn't have to mess with any of the stuff above. My installation worked out of the box except for the /boot/efi partition.
Thanks so much for your help!

It looks like someone already filed a bug for this same error:

Thank you! I reported the bug via the abrt tool and it did not help me search a duplicate bug.
Did you mount the EFI partition (~200MB FAT partition) under /boot/efi?
No I did not. I do apologize I wasn't aware for EFI systems this was required. After I created the partition, the installation was smooth.
This will be necessary so that the efi images and grub config can get written to the partition.
Wish I had known earlier :)
I have not dual booted from a single disk, but I have done so with Fedora installed to an external and it went pretty smoothly. GRUB2 even went so far as to create menu options for booting to Mac OS X (though I admittedly have not tried these.)
My Fedora 16 seem to have taken over. I was intending it to be dual boot.
If you can get it working, you may have good luck blessing the grub2 boot image so you can select either Linux or OS X from the grub nenu without having to flip flop rebooting using the Mac Utility or remembering to hold the alt key when you reboot (though refit will probably fill the same roll - incidentally you probably don't need refit if you're just dual booting Fedora and OS X)
I haven't tried this yet. I'm really happy with my Fedora install that I do not see the need for booting into OS X.
Have a look at this if you have some time. It was written for F16, but I have been playing with F17 and it all more or less still works the same.
