qemu uses so called Open Hack'Ware, which doesn't have proper terminal  
support for the menu and doesn't report available memory in the way  
GRUB expects.  The later causes "out of memory" messages, but it can  
be worked around in GRUB by hardcoding memory size.

It was working when grub-mkrescue was added for PowerPC.  According to  
the logs, that's January 31, 2008.

It looks like my G3 PowerMac died yesterday and won't turn on anymore.  
 The same thing happened to my G4 PowerMac several months ago.  So, I  
guess qemu remains the only option for me.
