Package: debian-installer
Severity: wishlist

grub-ieee1275 is a powerful and effective bootloader for powerpc
machines.  It is significantly more flexible at runtime than yaboot, and
provides a user experience more roughly comparable with installs on i386
and amd64 machines.

Please have debian-installer on powerpc default to grub-ieee1275
instead of yaboot.

Differences in the setup:

yaboot expects a ~1MiB bootstrap partition in an apple-formatted disk
that is openfirmware-visible.  This partition isn't mounted on the
running host, but is managed/updated when the admin runs ybin.

grub-ieee1275 expects a larger bootstrap partition (~10MiB should be
fine) in an apple-formatted disk that is openfirmware-visible.  This
partition should have a plain HFS (not HFS+) filesystem on it, and
should be mounted by the host at /boot/grub.

Users of grub-ieee1275 probably therefore also want to have hfsprogs
installed on their system for /sbin/fsck.hfs so that routine filesystem
checks at boot time can proceed for the filesystem mounted at
/boot/grub.


-----

If you need help or advice on pursuing this transition, phcoder has
indicated that he would be happy to discuss it on the upstream mailing
list:

 Grub 2 Development List <grub-devel@gnu.org>

I'm also happy to test powerpc d-i images that use grub-ieee1275 if you
need testers.

Thanks for your work on d-i!

Regards,

        --dkg
