Hi Mathieu,

On which machine did this work? I wrote earlier today that the modified
grub-ofpathname does not work on a 11,2 type G5, so the patch seems to
be not generic enough.
Sorry about that. I must say there are way too many emails to read.
Ok, as your mail came right after Adrian's one where he asked about news
for testing grub-ofpathname, it seemed like you were aware.
Could you reply to the Debian bug number so that I can get a clean
view of the issue.
Sure.
Then simply please post the output of:
(1) yaboot/ofpath (the one that works)
``
root@powermac-g5:~# ofpath /dev/sda2
/ht@0,f2000000/pci@9/k2-sata-root@c/@0/@0:2
```
(2) grub-ofpathname (specify if this with my patch)
The `grub-ofpathname` used in the following has your patch included:
```
root@powermac-g5:~# grub-ofpathname /dev/sda2
/ht@0,f2000000/pci@9/k2-sata-root@c/@0:2
```
Using that with `,\grub` added in the NVRAM var `boot-device` does not
boot the machine:
```
root@powermac-g5:~# nvsetenv boot-device
"/ht@0,f2000000/pci@9/k2-sata-root@c/@0:2,\grub"
root@powermac-g5:~# echo $?
0
root@powermac-g5:~# nvram --print-config="boot-device"
/ht@0,f2000000/pci@9/k2-sata-root@c/@0:2,\grub
## Reboot into OF
0 > boot load-size=0 adler32=1
LOAD-SIZE is too small
ok
0 >
```
Tests were performed on my 11,2 type Power Mac G5.
Cheers,
Frank
