Hello,
the latest trunk version of Grub works now nicely on my PPC machine, however,
grub-install needs some fixes. The following patch changes the hardcoded
ofpathname and nvsetenv paths to something more flexible.
The most important change however ist that the script now passes the "boot-
device" variable properly to nvsetenv. The old version did not produce an
error, but the change was not written to nvram.
I hope this patch gets applied.
Changelog:
"util/ieee1275/grub-install.in: do not hardcode ofpathname and nvsetenv paths
and fix nvsetenv call to actually write the boot device to NVRAM"
Cheers,
Chris
