I went through the steps with configure and make and install into a
prefix of ~/pkgs/local with the end result being :

My system is a PowerPC based unit with open firmware. In fact it is a
GENESI ODW unit thus : http://www.pegasosppc.com/odw.php
There is no floppy device but I guess I could attach one somehow.
What I need to do is install the GRUB2 bootloader on this unit but I
would prefer to have it on a bootable CDROM first.
Is there any clear way to achieve this ?

GRUB 2 works on the Pegasos II, but I have never tested booting form
CDROM. What I usually do is creating an open firmware binary and
loading that from the open firmware console.
If the CDROM can be accessed from open firmware and you are able to
open the binary it will work. Perhaps there is a pegasos specific way
to automatically load this binary, but I don't know of a way to do
this.
To create this PPC specific binary you can read the wiki page:
http://www.autistici.org/grub/moin.cgi/TestingOnPowerPC
For the pegasos you need to add amiga.mod so GRUB can access your RDB
partitions.

Keep in mind that so far we have not been using "make install". That
said, what is the problem you're pointing out here? That the "grubof"
executable itself is missing?
(As more people start using this, we really need to rename "grubof"
before we become stuck with that name forever.)

Do you intend for Open Solaris to use multiboot, or the Linux loader,
or write a custom loader for it?

Solaris? Multiboot? What did I miss?

Blastwave.org is the Open Solaris community site. I know there are
people working on porting Open Solaris to PowerPC, and they have chosen
to use Pegasos for the effort. I assume Dennis is one of those people,
but regardless I'm curious about the Solaris support GRUB will
ultimately need to have, for both x86 and PPC... so I asked. :)
