Trouble installing on iBook G4



Hello PowerPC Debian users,


I just installed the latest stable Debian iso on my iBook G4, but the grub bootloader install failed during the installation.  When I boot, I get the grub prompt.  I've been trying to follow the instructions at posts like this one:

https://superuser.com/questions/1237684/how-to-boot-from-grub-shell

but the output ls gives me a ton of ieee devices and there's some weird glitch with GRUB where once I get a third way down the screen the text starts printing on top of existing text, so I can't see what I'm doing so I have to reboot and start over.  Anyways, I'm guessing someone has probably had this same issue with this port before and that the powerpc port differs from x86 linux in this regard, so I thought I'd just ask the mailing list.  Can anyone offer advice?
