Public bug reported:

It should be possible to use BOOTP to boot from the network, and then
tell a PowerVM node to local boot via grub2.

Unfortunately, this fails as it cannot see the disks/partitions.

Upstream has a fix committed to solve the problem:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/?id=c899d9f42c543939abc92d79c9729d429740492e

This patch should be cherry-picked.
