Anything that uses NewWorld ROMs should work fine with GRUB. I don’t see how and why Yaboot should be better and more stable.

I find that statement a bit unfair given the fact that we’re doing all this work with limited resources and time and in our leisure time.
I have already explained that I am currently in the process of moving and once that all has settled, I will be able to pull out my PowerPC collection to perform tests and commit changes.
It doesn’t really make much sense to work on the GRUB stuff when I don’t have access to test hardware to test changes.
Please be a bit more patient. I will have moved by the end of February.
