Hi Rick,

I downloaded and burned the below image. Then I did an install on my

When it came time to partition the disk I expanded the HFS NewWorld bootstrap
partition to 10MB.
When it got to install grub or install yaboot, I first chose grub-installer.
That failed. So I went back and tried yaboot-installer, which succeeded. I
switched to the F2 console and mounted /dev/sda2 (the HFS partition) on
/target/boot/grub then went back to the main console and tried grub-installer
again. It failed again.
What am I doing wrong?
Currently only the new debconf templates (for d-i/grub-installer) were
added to the installer image (i.e. new "text" for [1]). The
`grub-installer` and `debian/postinst` scripts of d-i/grub-installer are
still the original ones without my modifications. So the GRUB
installation won't work without prior installation of the modifications
- which I currently do during installations to test and finalize my
modifications.

Hence some additional time and discussion is still needed before this
will be fully included, sorry.
Cheers,
Frank
