debian amd64 etch and Intel EFI


Hi,
this is the first time i meet EFI. I have read what it is and that there is no need to install GRUB. The problem is that i do not know how the Debian installation process handles EFI. Do i have to do something manually?
From the "man efibootmgr":
Code:
CREATING A NEW BOOT OPTION"

An OS installer would call efibootmgr -c. This assumes that /boot/efi is your EFI System Partition, and is mounted at /dev/sda1.
I do not see something like this happening during the Debian installation. Should i do something manually? Is there a guide/link for this? Can't seem to find anything...

Thnx
