Re: Booting Debian 10 on powernv POWER9 machine
Hello,
BE also works without problems on POWER9. For example AdelieLinux, VoidLinux, but also Debian, according to this list:

By the way, Void uses Grub as bootloader, also on BE.
I've tried a number of distributions on my Blackbird, but all PPC64el.
