Hello,
There is another issue with GRUB2 on OS X which I am not sure has
been brought up yet.
Right now, AFAIK (but I haven't tested it), GRUB2 (the part that runs
from OpenFrimware) can be built
with a bootstrap powerpc-elf-targetted GCC hosted on OS X. However,

The Mac OS X GCC compiler will not build GRUB2, due static linking at address
0x2000; this error can be confirmed during the configure process. If I could
build GRUB2 using the Mac OS X GCC, I would be able to build GRUB2 images from
Mac OS X.
