Yeah, that seems to be the case.
So, I burned the ISO to a USB stick (raw device, not to a specific
partition) and now my BIOS Setup actually shows the UEFI entry in the USB
drive and I was able to boot! At least kinda....
Now I get to the boot loader but as soon as I select the Haiku boot
partition and starts booting it, I get the greyed out icons and nothing
more. Not even the kernel icon lights up.
has 64 Gb, in case it matters) but then the machine reboots right after the
grayed out icons show up.
I guess, at least for now, I will have to use a VM. Unless any of you can
think of anything else I could try.

Interesting that UEFI doesn't work, as only high level loader code is
shared.
Are you sure it's actually booting off USB in UEFI mode? I think Alex's
image also includes the BIOS loader.
You may want to try a FAT formatted USB drive with nothing else on it,
and copy haiku_loader.efi to it as EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI and boot just that.
It should drop you into the boot menu automatically.
Building with x86_64 target is:
HAIKU_BOOT_PLATFORM=efi jam -q haiku_loader.efi

FYI, it did not work. I am seeing exactly the same problem with the UEFI
image. Does it make a difference if I write it to a DVD or a USB drive?

As I understand it, a recent build will already have uefi, no? Or isit
committed but not enabled in builds? I will try this build youmentioned
when I get home.
It's committed, but there's no build automation for an anyboot image
with the UEFI loader at this point. It's a little bit tricky to set up
the Jamfiles and such... Alex's image Ralf linked to should work fine.
Great. I will try it. If it really works and I want to build a newer
image with efi enabled, do I have to do anything specific?
