The boot drive can be determined at boot. Granted, there are buggy BIOSes, but we handle it already. All we need is to encode into the bootloader that it was installed on a hard drive (actually, not on a floppy, real or emulated), and the bootloader would use 0x80 rather than the value from BIOS. We don't need specific drive numbers like 0x81. We need one bit of information, and we can figure it out at the install time. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
