Public bug reported: Some systems refuse to boot our ppc64el CD images, dropping to a GRUB prompt. This is because I set the GRUB prefix in d-i to (ieee1275/cdrom)/boot/grub to work around a different failure, but not all systems have the ieee1275/cdrom devalias. Setting ()/boot/grub instead works on the system where I originally had this problem, and should fix the other hardware in question too.
