Re: G5 Suddenly Can't Boot Into GRUB
Hi Frank,
'printenv boot-device' replies back with:
boot-device /ht@0,f2000000/pci@9/k2-sata-
root@c/scsi@0/sd0,0:2,\powerpc-ieee1275\core.elf hd:,\\tbxi
I just tried, and indeed, 'boot hd:2,\grub' does work.
Plus, I can confirm using 'nvsetenv boot-device "$( ofpath /dev/sda2
),\grub"' then fixes it.
Thanks, Frank.
