You can’t put a newer 64 bit system on the MP 1,1 because it only has 32 bit EFI. There is a workaround that is really simple, even more so if you already have a machine running a later 64 bit system. It’s simple as pie and only takes maybe 30 minutes to do.

I ran a MP 1,1 on later operating systems for several years using these bootloaders. Once you get past the EFI the machines have no problems at all, since they’re 64 bit systems anyway. It’s a wonderful thing, as it breathes life into otherwise legacy hardware that could easily be running current OS’ if Apple would bother rewriting the firmware for them.
