This requires functionality in grub which is currently not enabled
in Slackware's grub package.
If you want a 32-bit Live ISO that boots on UEFI computers, you need
to recompile Slackware's grub with the patch for grub.SlackBuild which
you can find in the ./patches subdirectory.
Then you need to set the variable "EFI32" to "YES" in the
'make_slackware_live.sh' script and (re-)generate your 32-bit ISO.
The resulting 32-bit Live ISO will be UEFI-bootable.

- generate the grub fonts (.pf2) ourselves instead of using the
Slackware-provided grub font file.
- expand the help text about the boot parameters.
- show the liveslak version number in the boot menu.
- remove the 'boot any OS' menu item in Grub because it never worked for me.
- add a bit of Grub help text at the bottom of the screen.
NOTES:
- I do not like the way how I had to implement the Grub2 help menu,
it is ugly. Perhaps the text artefacts and understrikes are caused by the
fact that the grub console has to paint on top of the graphical boot menu?
- In any case, the grub console (the black rectangle in the middle) has its
coordinates hard-coded in the grub2 source so it is not configurable.
- the grub fonts look better than in Beta3 but I am still not happy with them.

Slackware's shipped Grub font is 19 point in size which does not scale well.
