Not so fast please, Adrian. At the risk of sounding harsh, non-release
old ports like powerpc *really* don't get to dictate things in Debian
terms.
As Daniel Axtens has been finding out, the HFS code is terrible in
terms of security. If you still need it for old/semi-dead machines,
maybe you should fork an older grub release and stay with that?

Getting a SCSI chain working is perfectly simple if you remember that there
must be exactly three terminations: one on one end of the cable, one on the
far end, and the goat, terminated over the SCSI chain with a silver-handled
knife whilst burning *black* candles. --- Anthony DeBoer
