Since powerpc is not a release architecture, setting the severity to "grave" is not
allowed here. I am therefore downgrading this to "normal".

Your HFS filesystem on /boot/grub is read-only. This is not related to GRUB but
to either your custom environment or something in the partitioning setup in d-i
that I need to fix.
