New UEFI guide on the wiki

That's probably the biggest flaw in the whole UEFI setup - you can't
access it unless you boot using it, and you can't boot from it unless
you access it to configure it.  It makes switching to UEFI (or the
old-time common practice of installing to a drive in one machine and
then moving it to another) difficult (at best).

I have a friend that worked for a BIOS vendor and now for a CPU vendor
that I think helped write some of the UEFI spec - I need to bug him on
that one. :)
