+
+Because Openfirmware returns invalid ihandler when it tries to open a disk
+which his first partition is not a supported one by the firmware (Prep, FAT,
+ISO), the grub needs to understand when it should open the disk in "raw mode",
+appending a ":0" in the end of the device path.
+
+Openfirmware is unable to open disk that contains a unknown first partition
+(i.e it is not a PreP, Fat, ISO) ; We needed to open the disk in "raw mode" and
+so Grub was required to take care of partitions and contents.
