I'm glad to know that, maybe the ofpathname problem was caused by some other issue which got fixed in the meantime…? I really can't pinpoint when ofpathname started working correctly for me. I've been using GRUB since early 2016 (when I got my Power Mac G5 and installed Debian ppc64 unstable), but at that time it wasn't really user-friendly: every time GRUB was updated, I had to copy grub.elf to the bootstrap partition, change its type attribute to tbxi and fix the NVRAM boot-device entry (it was a "fun" procedure, but at least it worked and allowed me to run xz-compressed kernels). I remember I used the devalias in the boot-device entry because ofpathname wasn't working correctly and I didn't feel like traversing the device tree by hand. :) Cheers, Rui
