Good news: With partman-prep enabled on ppc64 and after adding the hack to wipe and find the PREP partition on powerpc and ppc64 in grub-installer [1], the installation of GRUB on ppc64 works now out of the box on my POWER7 system \o/. One can simply install GRUB on these systems now by choosing "Back" in the yaboot-installer menu and then choosing to install GRUB. Now we only need to get it working on NewWorld Macs :). Adrian
