Don't boot better from the DVD on a powermac G5 (by hitting 'C' on
startup): it loads something from the DVD and then boot MacOS from the
HDD. I think it doesn't like the bootinfo.txt.

To be able to load the bootloader:

alt-cmd-O-F on startup, then
boot cd:,\boot\grub\powerpc-ieee1275\core.elf

Then to be able to start the installer, in grub menu, on the kernel
command line add:

nouveau.modeset=0 inst.text

(nouveau driver is broken, my card is a GeForce FX 5200)

if you have network you will be able to select VNC install,
if you want to stop fans, ctrl-alt-F2, "modprobe i2c-powermac".

The installation fails just after the partitioning because yaboot is
required but not available (perhaps because we use grub now).

Can someone correct this ?
Can I help ?

Laurent
