Thanks for all the information you are providing.

Hi,
From what I know about Macintosh and it’s Open Firmware, FireWire is set as a

firewire using the Command+Option boot-key. The Open Firmware will recognize

Looking at grub-mkrescue [1], I assume the options we need are:

Hi Alexandre,
sorry for not coming back to you earlier, but I missed the time for a
