I tried to install GRUB using a ELF boot image:
root@debian:~/grub2# grub-install /dev/vdiska
Installing for sparc64-ieee1275 platform.
grub-install: error: the size of `/boot/grub/sparc64-ieee1275/boot.img' is not 512.
root@debian:~/grub2# ls -l /boot/grub/sparc64-ieee1275/boot.img
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 816 Jan 7 18:29 /boot/grub/sparc64-ieee1275/boot.img
root@debian:~/grub2#
So, the generated ELF image is too big. No idea yet how to address this.
