I am also interested in this grub migration guide. My trusty powerbook is on yaboot, but if grub can't boot OSX or MorphOS I'll need to chain these as i bet yaboot boots grub just fine. Could you link to that script for booting osx under grub? I'll be taking a deep dive into grub anyway I've decided. Two or three of my old workhorse PCs that support some early EFI standard or draft now don't display the grub menu, but works regardless.
Thank you Adrian.
It looks as though this also affects boot in grub as it's a kernel assertion?
It seems also that the culprit kernel config option was found in the
thread you linked to. Is some further investigation required to
discover why that config option causes an issue?
Aside:
I trawled the mailing list archives last night and found the guide to
booting OS X using an openfirmware script when grub is installed [1].
I still find OS X useful mostly for testing the hardware.
What is the process to switch from yaboot to grub? Just install grub
and uninstall yaboot? I couldn't find much info on this, though I know
I did it previously on my ibook.
Thanks,
Ed
