Your machine is obviously not detected as a New World PowerMac and thus, none of the mechanisms for New World PowerMacs are applied. If archdetect doesn't show you're on a "powerpc/powermac_newworld", neither the automatic partioning nor the installation of GRUB for PowerMacs is triggered correctly. > # umount /boot/grub/ > # hmount /dev/sda3 > Volume name is "untitled" > Volume was created on Thu Apr 15 20:51:52 2021 > Volume was last modified on Thu Apr 15 21:48:40 2021 > Volume has 22705664 bytes free > root@debian:/boot# hls > fonts grub.cfg locale powerpc-ieee1275 > grub grubenv mach_kernel System > # hattrib -b :System:Library:CoreServices > # hattrib -c chrp -t tbxi :System:Library:CoreServices:BootX So, I thought setting the filetype isn't necessary? > # hls -l :System:Library:CoreServices:BootX > f tbxi/chrp 0 16632 Apr 15 22:53 > :System:Library:CoreServices:BootX > # humount > # shutdown -h now > > After that I was able to reboot successfully by switching qemu-system-ppc to > boot from the HD using -boot c instead: > > ./qemu-system-ppc -hda deb10.qcow2 -cdrom debian-10.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso > -boot c -m 512 -nographic Adrian -- .''`.
