Yes.
OI has no trouble installing its loader into the EFI GPT partition.
If I installed multi-boot frequently, I might find it convenient if
OI did as Project Trident does and integrate Rod Smith's rEFInd into
its installation but I just don't multi-boot frequently.

Regardless, when I have a spare moment, I'll try fix any handbook
sections that are confusing.
