On EFI, we don't really know where grub is stored. There is a filesystem layout convention we'd better to follow. As a consequence, we extract the path from an EFI structure (I didn't write this code - it's in the EFI common code). Did I answer to all your concerns on this topic ? _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
