I'm sorry for posting to the list, but I've had some trouble tracking down the answers I need..
I've tried following the instructions on the Wiki for installing grub2/ppc on a clean, basic (working) Gentoo install with yaboot. My partitions were set up as: p1: Apple partition map p2: Apple bootloader p3: 512MB Swap p4: 40GB ext3 as / When I tried to boot against it, I saw the initial Grub welcome message, but it immediately gave an error message. I don't have the error message to show as I've rebuilt the machine with extra partitions this time. I can now try dedicating one for /boot and possibly one for grub itself (running the grub-install seemed to insist on one). My question isn't so much why my original try failed, but what are the requirements for setting up grub2 on ppc's? (req'd partitions, filesystems, sizes, initrd? etc.) I'd appreciate if someone could work with me on setting this up offline. Once I understand what is needed and can get it reliably installed, I will happily update the documentation to help the next guy (or gal). Alternatively, is there a description of the layout of the grub2 code so I can follow the process myself to figure it out? I'm a developer, but I'm having some difficulty figuring out the organization as I poke around. Would the documentation for grub legacy help? Is there some general information floating around that I haven't found yet? Thanks..
