[clug] Fedora on EFI only Xserve

[Steve Walsh]

ok, I'm getting a little confused as to what you're trying to 
do...Ananconda is the installer, but you're talking about grub and 
kernel boot options...have you tried enabling the VNC options for anaconda?

Are you installing F11, or are you done and trying to boot the machine?

Btw, "text" passed to anaconda will never start X, it launches a ncurses 
based installer.
