Title:
  ppc64el/cdrom: ieee1275/cdrom devalias doesn't work on all machines

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed
Status in “debian-installer” source package in Trusty:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Some systems refuse to boot our ppc64el CD images, dropping to a GRUB
  prompt.  This is because I set the GRUB prefix in d-i to
  (ieee1275/cdrom)/boot/grub to work around a different failure, but not
  all systems have the ieee1275/cdrom devalias.  Setting ()/boot/grub
  instead works on the system where I originally had this problem, and
  should fix the other hardware in question too.

  Bug originally reported by Paulo F. Smorigo.
