Quoting Robert Millan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If not, then we'd have
to figure out why sector 0 of the partition can be accessed directly via
hexdump.
As I understand, "(hd0,1)" doesn't refer to an extent of data, i.e. it
not a file or a block list that can be opened like a file.
"(hd0,1)+1" is the first sector of the partition. But "(hd0,1)" is
not all sectors of the partition. It the partition name. It can be
used in the "ls" command, whereas "(hd0,1)+1" cannot.
By the way, the current GRUB just failed to install on my test system.
After I rebooted it, GRUB hung on startup after showing "GRUB".
Please run a regression test, if you can.
The installation was broken by that patch, so I reverted it. It's
easy to check the installation by doing it on a mounted flash drive,
so that the real boot device is not at risk.
