I don't know if this has been discussed somewhere at Fedora, but I would 
assume the documentation will be updated to mention this at some point, 
and you'll probably get some help in f18 release notes too.  You could 
raise the issue with the documentation team if it hasn't been already.

The main problem is that the UEFI spec doesn't describe a standard UI to 
do this AFAIK, so every hardware vendor might implement it in a 
different way.  If the process varies too much from user to user, Fedora 
might prefer to simply refer the user to the firmware's documentation.

In any case, this information will be freely accessible somewhere, and I 
suspect some open source tools will also appear to assist if necessary.
