found 545432 1.97~beta3-1
thanks

just wanted to note that grub-ieee1275 continues to be a problem.  You
can see this directly from a powerpc machine without actually using grub
as the bootloader, with grub-emu.

just launching grub-emu puts the following text in the terminal:

-----------------------
                      GNU GRUB  version 1.97~beta3

 [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
   lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible
   device/file completions. ]

Welcome to GRUB!

error: invalid arch independent ELF magic
                                          sh:grub>
-----------------------

I think this same error message shows up as the __ashldi3 error 
when trying to actually boot from it via OpenFirmware.
