Please realize that the hfs fix is just a part of what needs to be done.

For GRUB to be a drop-in replacement for yaboot (at least on Fedora),
the installation script should be able to understand the layout where
only few files are located on the true boot partition (in hfs format,
perhaps not mounted), whereas most GRUB files and kernels are placed on
a "second boot partition" in ext2 format mounted under /boot.

I know not everybody likes this, so the script should keep the ability
to support layouts with one boot partition in hfs format.

The only machine I have to test it is a very slow G3 PowerMac, and I
cannot spend much time on it.  I don't want to change partitioning to
satisfy the current grub-install.
