My A1095, "boot ud:,\\yaboot" from OF after fresh power-on, gives me
the grub screen, but from my disk install, not the USB key in usb1:
nur usb0. It turns out that there is no ud device, as "devalias" shows,
"no alias" and "dir ud:" confirms "can't open the DIR device".
So this is yet another dead end.
