There is a GRUB_INSTALL_PLATFORM_POWERPC_IEEE1275 for which grub-mkrescue produces bootable ISOs. I understand that the ISO gets prepared with HFS+ for this platform if a directory /usr/lib/grub/powerpc-ieee1275 exists with the files from https://packages.debian.org/sid/ppc64el/grub-ieee1275-bin/filelist A merely bootable ISO which leads to a GRUB console prompt is produced by: mkdir minimal touch minimal/empty-file.txt grub-mkrescue -o output.iso minimal output.iso is supposed to contain an Apple Partition Map and a HFS+ superblock with directory tree. I expect it to be prepared for booting from CD, DVD, and USB stick. (DVD+RW is about as easy to overwrite as an USB stick. Either with a burn program or with plain dd and sync.) If you see a GRUB prompt, then the equipment suffices and the storage device works for booting. Have a nice day :) Thomas
