Let me know how the image works for you, then I can commit the changes for
the grub-installer package to git when we know it works for most people for

I now found some time to run the install procedure from USB disks (I could boot fine via boot ud:\boot\grub\powerpc.elf). I did a very default install with the preset partition table. But it failed at installing grub at the end of the installation procedure. I can see the obvious: It is not correct to install grub to /dev/sdb3 as this is the partition that was created for swap. But there seems to be even more going wrong:

I’m sending you full install logs via direct mail. If you do need any more information, just tell me. The machine is still warm and running the install OS and I could try some things.
Thank you
Johannes
