I would recommend it for others to try it and go back only if you have annoying
problems. You problably won't, but who knows?

Very useful, indeed. Thank you.
My main concern with yaboot has been (until now) its inability to
specify initrd, unless given in cfg file. Typically with external
disks, when root device has changed, and the boot stops.
Is it possible with grub2 to specify initrd manually?

What would mess up what? He proposed some advices to people wanting to

I have had libfreevec (clibrary replacement) installed on my g4 powerbook
for several years with no problems, upgrading in place from etch to lenny to
squeeze. but I have not tried to build apps against it.

Hi all,
I was checking out new packages in the Debian repository and I have
noticed that grub2 is now available on ppc.
I'd be more than interested to try it out, but I don't really want to
screw up my system.
Is there anyone who tried it instead of yaboot? Is it safe to install?

Yes, it needs to be 32-bit. But the part that links with ncurses is grub-emu

This is the reproach I have against Grub2 (on PowerPC) when
Sven and I talk about it: it is not enough mature to become
architecture-generic. The last time I dug the code (1 month ago),
I found duplicities which disturbed me. :(

Hi!
I've just uploaded version 0.6+20040429-1 of grub2 to experimental, which
adds support for powerpc.
Note that the code is highly experimental. It was written by Marco Gerards
in upstream and only reported to work on his computer. Feel free to have
a look and hack it up.
