That is certainly mounted readonly (ro) so unless you remount it rw it is not going to be able to update.
I am not sure why that is an hfs volume. Is that normal for grub on
a powermac? I am affraid I have only used other powerpc linux systems
myself. Looking it up a bit it does appear that it is normal to use
hfs for /boot/grub since the firmware has to read grub from there.
You could try doing: mount -o remount,rw /boot/grub
Maybe that will make it read write and hence able to allow grub to update.
