I suppose it would be better if someone did the test on a system where
*only* Linux is installed, to make sure that OpenFirmware is able to
find GRUB without boot-device being set.

And there is also this patch, needed for many G4 iBooks:

grub works correctly because in that case we have an
Apple partition table.)
I will continue to investigate why the double colon is showing up and do
some experimentation with different values to better understand how the
iBook G4 firmware is handling the MSDOS partition table.

rub-boot test image where BootX is using:

I suspect Apple users would then be able to "properly" boot from USB

boot usb0/disk:,\\:tbxi

extra ":", I can boot grub (for the grub-rescue and the

You have an iBook G4 so I would expect the behavior would be the same
for you as well. Although our iBooks are slightly different since mine
required yaboot to be loaded at a higher address.

y to communicate to open firmware
to do MSDOS partition scanning first and that a specified partition
number is an MSDOS partition number. But I have yet to see a way to do
that.

On my iBook G4, I can boot the installer from USB with:
boot usb0/disk:,\\grub.elf
(Note that you do not specify a partition.)

Sorry to bother the community with fixes. I'll stay away. Maybe someday
your ISO images will actually boot my stock Apple iBook G4. (Presumably
after you've applied my patch.)

In my free cycles I'll be looking into updating yaboot. If the
grub-supporters get grub into the installer first, then I am happy to
accept that solution as well.

Sorry, I think that l
So the boot command for me was then:
boot usb0/hub@1/hub@4/disk@1:2,\install\yaboot
On a side note, it is a bit frustrating that I provided a patch and even

ISO. Last October I took the time to bisect the issue, which is what led
to my patch to revert the TEXTADDR.
I would be happy to try other patches if you think it is due to
something else.

This reverts commit f7a364631f2a8975ecca56668a19ee0a66c1ddcd.
An iBook G4 (PowerBook6,5) was unable to boot when linking to the
lower address. Revert back to 2MB.

to have

This is one reason that I believe the Debian/powerpc port is so
important.
