PowerPC Bootloader Options
Registered by
Ben Collins
At this point, only yaboot and grub2-ieee1275 are supported as Power Architecture boot-loaders. Many new, non-IBM systems do not have any sort of OpenFirmware (ieee1275) component and so the boot-loaders are more bare (u-boot). One known system has actually built-in a grub into the BIOS and reads directly from /boot/grub/
