Heya,

To support the development grub2 for powerpc I am testing grub2 from cvs 
two days ago) on my ibook (G4).

I have successfully installed grub2 and can boot into linux.

I have been unable to work-out  how to boot in to MacOSX. When trying to 
use chainloader I get the following error message.

Booting 'MacOSX'
error: unknown command `chainloader'
Press any key to continue...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

aaron

Hi Aaron, unfortunately grub2 does not yet support booting Mac OS X. I
was working on a loader for it a while back, but didn't get it working
and haven't touched it in a while. You can look for the patches in the
archives if you're interested in taking a look.

Ahhh......

Only being able to boot in to one of the two OSes I run is a deal 
breaker.  It's back to Yaboot for me.
