I now found some time to run the install procedure from USB disks (I
could boot fine via `boot ud:\boot\grub\powerpc.elf`). I did a very
default install with the preset partition table. But it failed at
installing grub at the end of the installation procedure. I can see the
obvious: It is not correct to install grub to /dev/sdb3 as this is the
partition that was created for swap. But there seems to be even more
going wrong:
```

I’m sending you full install logs via direct mail. If you do need any
more information, just tell me. The machine is still warm and running
the install OS and I could try some things.
Thank you
Johannes
