I tried grub2 on my ppc (apple iBook g3) but I don't
like to change openfw boot-device var every time (I use
the same laptop for my daily stuff) as suggested in
grub wiki.
So written a CHRP script which permit to choose
yaboot or GRUB2, here it is:

Nice... I just wish such scripts could be simpler. :)
Personally I don't mind booting to OF and typing "boot hd:6,yaboot" as
needed, but that's just me. Perhaps you could add your script to the
wiki, maybe on its own page?
If someone isn't already doing, I'm going to write a reiserfs
module (let me know).
There has been at least one request for that already, so I think it
would be welcome. Marco has done most of the filesystem stuff so far,
but I think is unavailable for further work until July.
Also what about multiboot specification support in grub2?
Is available (on ppc and ia32)? If not why ? :)
The multiboot spec is still x86-specific. There is multiboot loader for
x86 in GRUB2, but I don't know how much testing it's seen. I am working
on a project which will eventually require multiboot for PPC, but as
far as I know there have been no other requests for it...
If you are looking for things to work on, the PPC section of the TODO
list (http://www.autistici.org/grub/moin.cgi/TodoList) is up-to-date. I
have been working on the devalias filtering. Actually, I think the
devalias filtering was misprioritized (my fault), but there are a lot
of critical items on that list, some large, some small...
