The cooperation between modules is not hard, but I think
map -first (hdx) will be more useful. Such command just swaps hd0 and hdx
drives. This also covers the scenarios when we chainload something else
than first sector of given partition.
And maybe we can also consider following syntax:
map -pos (hd2) (hd0) (hd4)
with meaning:
hd0->hd1,
hd1->nothing
hd2->hd0,
hd3 not touch,
hd4->hd2
I.e. positional syntax, first argument is mapped to (hd0), second to (hd1),
and so on.
This syntax will be sufficient most times and writing
chainloader --automap (hd1,0)+1
is same as writing
map -first (hd1)
chainloader (hd1,0)+1
or
setting grub root to (hd1,0)
map -root
chainloader +1
