My A1095, "boot ud:,\\yaboot" from OF after fresh power-on, gives me the grub screen, but from my disk install, not the USB key in usb1: nur usb0. It turns out that there is no ud device, as "devalias" shows, "no alias" and "dir ud:" confirms "can't open the DIR device". So this is yet another dead end. - S
