The report was not particularly detailed, just a screenshot from an 
iMac, but I suspect this is the same bug going by the symptoms:

https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2025/01/msg00004.html

Interestingly it is reproducible on 3/3 Xserves here, but with slightly 
different errors from the OFW. I can document the OFW versions if that 
matters.

On one it shows:

"""Welcome to GRUB!

Invalid memory access at   %SRR0: 00000000.00000000   %SRR1: 
10000000.00083030 """

On another it shows:

"""Loading ELF

CLAIM failed"""
