update-grub calls grub-probe a few times, in different places. Some of them could be avoided, but at least these appear to be necessary: # Device containing our userland. Typicaly used for root= parameter. GRUB_DEVICE="`grub-probe --target=device /`" # Filesystem for the device containing our userland. Used for stuff like # choosing Hurd filesystem module. GRUB_FS="`grub-probe --target=fs /`" See also 00_header.in for code that might scan /usr/share/ in search of unifont. If e.g. /usr is a separate partition, grub needs to know that somehow to load the font later. -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
