Hello everyone, Long time no…erm. For added compatibility, I would please like to put forward that my (NewWorld?) G5 PMacs, have not been designed to be able to boot from USB. Firewire yes, but not USB. Most definitely one of them, that’s for sure. Therefore, this may affect OpenFirmware awareness(es) required for implementation in the new GRUB code. Namely, I would like to say please implement whatever’s needed to allow say, a G5 Pmac Quad to still boot from USB + Firewire, and a G5 Pmac Dual 2.0 to still boot from firewire from both bootloader and OF (open firmware). I would like to clarify that I haven’t tried any of the installer images yet, so this is not a report of the project’s current functionality, but of stuff as recent as a stuffed-up wheezy Jessie combo installation that I still have (not under use). P.S. I understand that the new GRUB is likely not going to replace OpenFirmware, so I am requesting just to be able to still boot from USB + Firewire on the G5 Quad and USB on the G5 Dual 2.0 from the bootloader, and not have to manually drill into OF to do that. Thanks, Mark
