ibook g4 rescue usb



I'm sure I'm going to need this information again in a few years, so
this seems like the best place to preserve it for the future.

To boot into the open firmware:
option + command + O + F

To boot grub from the Debian installer USB stick with grub:
boot usb0/disk@1:,\boot\grub\powerpc.elf

caveats include:
* plug in the USB stick before powering on the machine
* if usb0 doesn't work, try usb1
* to specifically choose another partition, 'disk@1:3' for the 3rd
  partition
