Good point, but I think we shouldn't hard coded the scan method in search. Perhaps we can add a option to search to skip some device, something such as: search --ignore-device=fd /file Or we can use a variable like: noscan=fd The advantage of using variable is that we can use it in findroot as well. -- Bean _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
