OK, I was already wondering about that. grub-install contains a
bless utility
and function only, but not something for the UNIX filetype.
Question: If the blessing is sufficient and the setting of the
filetype not necessary,
why does grub-install --macppc-directory=/boot/grub (with
that being an HFS
filesystem) not create a working boot partition?
Yeah. From what I can see from links [1] and [2] I'd expect this to
be working now. Let me run an install of the latest ISO here, since
then I can then use a debugger on QEMU/OpenBIOS to find out what the
problem may be.
After a bit of fiddling I was eventually able to get a bootable HD
install under qemu-system-ppc using your snapshot image. The command
line I used was:
./qemu-system-ppc -hda deb10.qcow2 -cdrom
debian-10.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso -boot d -m 512 -nographic
The main problem I found was that starting from a blank drive image in
QEMU the /boot/grub HFS partition wasn't being created - see the
attached PNGs where part-original.png is the layout from the default
guided installation and part-modified.png is after I had manually
removed the / partition, added the /boot/grub HFS partition (I guess a
32MB size?) and then assigned the remaining space to the / partition
once again.
Once this was done, I let the base install run all the way up until
the point where the installer prompted me for the mirror information.
At this point I didn't want to install any extra packages to help save
time, so instead went back to the installer menu and then went
directly to the grub installation step. That appeared to succeed
without any error messages, so then finished the installer and rebooted.
Unfortunately the resulting HD image would not boot. I could see the
contents of the /boot/grub partition in OpenBIOS with "dir hd:,\" and
after a few tests realised I was able to boot the grub ELF directly
using "boot hd:3,\grub".
Once in the installed image I noticed that the
/boot/grub/System/Library/CoreServices/ directory didn't exist,
possibly because I skipped the installer between the mirror selection
and the grub installation? However at this point I was able to install
hfsutils by hand using "apt-get install hfsutils" which then allowed
me to do the following:
# grub-install --macppc-directory=/boot/grub/
(this installed /boot/grub/System/Library/CoreServices/BootX which was
missing before?)
# umount /boot/grub/
# hmount /dev/sda3

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
ATB,
Mark.
Inded, I don't have the HFS partition too.
