Hi,

I am playing with the search command in grub2 from debian experimental
and have noticed some oddness

The search command currently returns the device as hdX,X rather than
(hdX,X).  This means that the variable created using -s can't be used as
a replacement for the device string.  For Example I'd like to be able to
do this:

# Set our root device
search -f /grub/grub.cfg -s root
# Set our prefix 
set prefix=${root}/grub/  # I think broken variable handling means this
doesn't work.

menuentry "My Linux OS" {
search -s LINUX_ROOT -u XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ-AAAA-BBBB
set root=$LINUX_ROOT
linux=/vmlinuz
initrd=/intrd.img
}

Or do I completely misunderstand the search command and usage of
variables?
