Hi Robert.

Today i did a daily-build install on an apple XServe, and i wanted to give
grub2 a try, but i was not able to find any grub-installer package for
powerpc. I looked at the BTS, and grub-installer is only built for x86-ish
arches, and there is no grub2-installer.

What am i missing here ? I thought you enabled powerpc support, and wanted
testing ? 

Friendly,

Sven Luther
