I have a question for the masses. I am using VoidPPC on one partition, have two partitions of OSX (Tiger and Leopard), and also have MorphOS. In yaboot I was able to boot any/all of these from the bootloader. I'm wondering if the same is possible in grub?

Thanks!
 
Pinging on this thread - I’m very interested in using grub to boot these other OSes. My KVM setup doesn’t allow me to get to the apple early boot menu, probably the keyboard isn’t recognized in time or something. Additionally, launching OS9 for some reason “un-blesses” my MorphOS boot files, so every time I launch OS9 I have to go re-bless MorphOS. Using a bootloader to do all of this would be much better.
 
I found that I needed to plug the keyboard directly into an USB port of the Powermac - otherwise there is no way to get into the early boot menu.
