I managed to create a USB drive image for booting with EFI using Mac-Linux-USB-Loader(issue).

The directory structure is as shown here.

F:\>tree /f
Folder PATH listing for volume NEW VOLUME
Volume serial number is 9478-C771
F:.
└───efi
    └───boot
            bootX64.efi
            boot.iso

boot.iso is ~689MB and bootX64.efi is ~600KB.

While attempting to boot, I end up in the grub shell. I video recorded my screen and have some screen shots here.

How do I proceed booting? I care more to install linux on my mac mini (late 2012) than to fix this issue. I will be happy to boor boot manually and start the installer. I am installing ubuntu-13.10-server-amd64+mac.iso

The following worked for me.

grub> kernel (hd1,gpt2)\vmlinuz-3.11.0-13-generic root=/dev/sdb3
grub> initd (hd1,gpt2)\initrd-3.11.0-13-generic
grub> boot

If you make UDF region on your USB with 64 bit Ubuntu live iso, you can boot either EFI or BIOS mode. After Ubuntu installation on EFI mode, you have to replace grub-pc with grub-efi before rebooting.
