os-prober currently prints `chain' on FreeDOS, QNX4, Windows, MS-DOS, Solaris, Minix and Dell Utility Partition Solaris probable won't need it but for Minix and QNX4 (I don't even know what this is) I don't know. FreeDOS probable needs it too or not? So better just use it always and if someone says it can't boot because of drivemap we can change it for that OS. -- Felix Zielcke _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
