My primary intention is to simplify and unify the bootloader configuration
for debian-installer across all architectures and
Fienix is by Casey Cullen, not Christian Zigotsky.

Hi!
Sorry for my stupid comment, but I wanted to know why you don't consider
using a simple CHRP boot script as a wrapper?
According to this FreeBSD document, a CHRP script must be used for the
"c" key to work and let OF find the optical drive (such as CD-ROM) to be
bootable in the first place.

Hi Alexandre,
sorry for not coming back to you earlier, but I missed the time for a
more in-depth look into this matter.

Looking at grub-mkrescue [1], I assume the options we need are:

Hi,
From what I know about Macintosh and it’s Open Firmware, FireWire is set as a

firewire using the Command+Option boot-key. The Open Firmware will recognize
the FireWire boot-sector by default. So, yes… trying
