The rEFInd boot manager (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind) has drivers 
for several filesystems including EXT and NTFS. From 
http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/drivers.html :

"As described in the next section, Selecting an EFI Driver 
[http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/drivers.html#selecting], drivers for 
ext2fs, ext3fs, ext4fs, ReiserFS, Btrfs, and a few non-native 
filesystems come with rEFInd."
