Mammoth: With the installation method you've used, you don't have any "EFI files", all your modified files reside in system folders.

 

For a history lesson, read here: http://tgwbd.org/darwin/

Then follow the links at the bottom and read those too.

 

If your drive is formatted as MBR (Diskutil List shows "FDisk_partition_scheme") you have no "EFI" partition, so just use the Extra folder at the root of your system partition.

 

For there to be an EFI partition at all, your hard drive must be formatted as GUID.

In order to use the EFI partition for anything (including installing the boot file to it) you must first initialize it:

 

diskutil list (verify that your EFI partition is indeed disk0s1)

 

sudo -s

 

10.5.x:

diskutil eraseVolume "HFS+" "EFI" /dev/disk0s1

 

10.6.x:

newfs_hfs -v EFI /dev/disk0s1

More of the same (I really should finish this - beware, the installation steps are for 10.5.x ONLY)
