Of course if the new version currently in unstable that many people have
asked for for years was used instead, a huge number of newer powerpc
machines might actually work with Debian. 1.3.13a is simply useless
for most modern powerpc machines.
I had to move to grub2 instead with much manual tweaking and debuging
(with upstream help) to get a working bootloader for squeeze.
