-<para>NixOS can also be installed on UEFI systems.  The procedure
-is by and large the same as a BIOS installation, with the following
-changes:

-<itemizedlist>
-  <listitem>
-    <para>You should boot the live CD in UEFI mode (consult your
-    specific hardware's documentation for instructions). You may find
-    the <link
-    xlink:href="http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind">rEFInd
-    boot manager</link> useful.</para>
-  </listitem>
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Instead of <command>fdisk</command>, you should use
-    <command>gdisk</command> to partition your disks. You will need to
-    have a separate partition for <filename>/boot</filename> with
-    partition code EF00, and it should be formatted as a
-    <literal>vfat</literal> filesystem.</para>
-  </listitem>
-  <listitem>
-    <para>Instead of <option>boot.loader.grub.device</option>,
-    you must set <option>boot.loader.systemd-boot.enable</option> to
-    <literal>true</literal>. <command>nixos-generate-config</command>
-    should do this automatically for new configurations when booted in
-    UEFI mode.</para>
-  </listitem>
-  <listitem>
-    <para>After having mounted your installation partition to
-    <code>/mnt</code>, you must mount the <code>boot</code> partition
-    to <code>/mnt/boot</code>.</para>
-  </listitem>
-  <listitem>
-    <para>You may want to look at the options starting with
-    <option>boot.loader.efi</option> and <option>boot.loader.systemd-boot</option>
-    as well.</para>
