Hello! I have started working on switching the bootloader for debian-installer from silo to grub-ieee1275 on sparc and sparc64. For that, I have looked at the corresponding code in debian-installer for ppc64el and noticed that the configuration file build/config/ppc64el.cfg requires a "bootinfo.txt" configuration file which is part of the grub-ieee1275-bin package. Thus, in order to switch to grub-ieee1275 on sparc and sparc64, we need to add the bootinfo.txt there as well. Could you install the bootinfo.txt file for sparc and sparc64 as well? Plus, it might be a good idea to adjust the GRUB version number as well as the name of the boot script to be a generic name like debian-installer.elf and not powerpc.elf. Currently, the header of bootinfo.txt looks like this: <chrp-boot> <description>grub 2.02~beta3</description> <os-name>grub 2.02~beta3</os-name> <boot-script>boot &device;:\boot\grub\powerpc.elf</boot-script> <icon size=64,64 color-space=3,3,2> Thanks, Adrian -- .''`.
