Hi,
I'm wondering why there is no check for device type (block/character) in
grub-setup.c whereas the function probe() in grub-probe.c exits with
error if the device is not of the expected type. Shouldn't there be a
similar check in grub-setup?
Currently, on NetBSD (with in-progress patches), grub-setup fails with
an `out of disk error' on a block device as the detected disk size is 0,
whereas grub-probe exits gracefully with an error message telling that
the input device is not a character device. I guess that a similar
behavior could be observed on FreeBSD, but I can't actually test this.
Thanks,
Grégoire
