the promised details for the Grub installation on an Xserve G4 with

Thanks. Is there any specify reason why you aren't using grub-install?
Yes - it's a known working method. I know that it worked that way on the
Power Mac G5, so I first tried it that way on the Xserve G4. That to be
sure no errors are introduced by another method of installation.
If I remember correctly, most of the steps you went through above should
actually be performed by single invocation of grub-install which is what
debian-installer is doing as well.
I can retry this on the G5 with an installer that has Grub included.
IIRC that wasn't the case, the last time I installed the G5 in late
September (with the installer ISO with SHA256 hash:
46844b4c8da76c3fb18d3d350b1262b9938c8b8ff8a85bd193d76ac7e33b5dc9) - or I
just didn't notice it.
And I can also try to use grub-install on the Xserve G4 from the already
installed OS. If there is also a Sid installer image available for
powerpc I can also do that from the Debian installer.
Cheers,
Frank
