MacBook Air 4,2 Archboot

I've been attempting an install of Arch on a new MacBook Air using Archboot 2012.01-1

I'm installing from x86_64 with the following partitions:

/dev/sda1  /boot/efi     200.0MB   EFI System  
/dev/sda2  /              27.9GB   Linux
/dev/sda3                619.9MB   Apple boot    (Recovery HD)
/dev/sda4  /home          84.3GB   Linux

Can't get the wireless adapter detected, so I've been installing from usbstick source with relative success.  Currently I'm getting through the bootloader install using the grub2_efi_x86_64, but when I reboot, the system does not detect and EFI partition.

I've read in the Grub2 wiki near EFI section, something about using the bless command in MacOS.  Would this help complete the install or am I missing a step all together?

Thanks
