## Make d-i/grub-installer work for NewWorld Power Macs ## When applied, the following five patches should make d-i/grub-installer work on NewWorld Power Macs.
This was tested during Debian installations for the ppc64 architecture in "expert" mode on the following machine types: * PowerMac11,2 (late 2005 model with 1 x 2.0 GHz PowerPC 970MP) * PowerMac7,3 (early 2005 model with 2 x 2.3 GHz PowerPC 970FX) ...with 1 x SATA HDD (with a capacity of 1 TB) installed, using a glass console. Results for "non-expert" mode installations are pending. This is currently untested for the powerpc architecture (specifically for 32 bit NewWorld Power Macs). Frank Scheiner (5): Install hfsutils in-target for NewWorld Power Macs (adapted from d-i/yaboot-installer). Detect and select NewWorld bootstrap partitions (adapted from d-i/yaboot-installer). Handle HFS file systems (format, mount, unmount, permanent mount). Override $bootfs, $bootfstype, $bootdev and $state for NewWorld Power Macs. Create and configure the missing CHRP boot script. Adapt grub-install parameters and finally perform GRUB installation. Make CHRP script bootable by OpenFirmware. Configure NVRAM defaults but do not boot automatically. debian/changelog | 14 +- debian/grub-installer.templates | 31 +++ debian/postinst | 21 ++ grub-installer | 539 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 4 files changed, 601 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.9.1
