As for yaboot, it does not run on Old World Macintosh, and described
in the thread starting at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2004-09/msg00014.html, I
needed to use map on Old World. If it is *only* needed on Old World,
then we could add another flag to grub_ieee1275_flags.
I agree.
There is a "real-mode?" configuration variable, but I think that
just
specifies OF's translation mode, independent of the client's mode
(see
the IEEE1275 PowerPC and CHRP bindings). Knowing the value of that
variable might be interesting but I wouldn't recommend changing it,
as
Apple firmware in particular is known to die a horrible death by
mucking with one of those settings (I'm pretty sure it's
"real-mode?").
On my powerbook it is set to false, while it is set to true on the
pegasos. So what do you suggest? Using map when it is set to false?
You said that both the PowerBook and the Pegasos work without the map
call, so if the briQ works too then I think we should use the approach
described above.
Right. When will you be able to test this?
