What's the filename of the ISO you're testing and how was the install
media created? I don't know that it matters, but we should track it in
case it's a factor. In particular I'm wondering if it's live media vs
netinstaller.

And you do hit the bug with Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-1.2.iso ?

That's probably https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=893179

Both entries are now obsolete and can't work for multiple reasons. The
upstream code has bit rotted. The way forward is to chainload the
Apple bootloader on the recovery/boot volume; or just drop OS X
autodetect and expect the user to press the option key at boot time to
get the firmware's boot manager.
