Thanks a lot for help and info! 
One more thing i would like to clarify (as i am new to EFI stuff):
is it possible to have a boot media with live isos (like an usb stick) for both
EFI and non-EFI systems? (i was wondering if just adding the /boot/efi part from
a system with a corresponding grub.conf would be enough to being bootable by both
legacy and UEFI only systems)

Thank you!
Adrian
