How to proceed if I want to use the Apple bootloader with systemd-boot

I'm going to install arch linux alongside my OSX to my Mac, but I have question about the  bootloader stage;

In the wiki, it is said that in order to use the native Apple bootloader with systemd-boot, which I want to use this choice,

1-)First, make sure you mounted the EFI System Partition at /boot
2-)Proceed with #Installation normally

So,

Q1: how to mount the EFI System Partition at /boot, and when to do that. I mean the wiki doesn't give a specific order for the thing that I have to do, so I'm confused.

Q2:It says continue the installation normally, but in the #Installation part, we are given 2 option, namely

(for booting with EFI) After the install boot loader stage, exit the installer and install GRUB.
(for booting with BIOS-compatibility) In the install boot loader stage, edit the menu.lst file and add reboot=pci to the end of the kernel lines,

So which one should I choose, or how should I proceed ?

1. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … le_systems

2. If you are using systemd-boot, why are you bothering about Grub?
