With this approach, the burden is no longer in GRUB. Then I don't care
how weird disk layouts can become, because GRUB doesn't have to probe
them. We can even support things like this if it makes users happy:
(hd0,bsd2,msdos1,sun1,apple4,msdos1)
I like this generic approach very much. And as you said, in
non-straightforward disk layouts, the responsibility of finding the
appropriate path to access a given partition is left to the user.
In all generality, the links between labels is a graph, for instance in
your example above, the two occurrences of msdos1 could be the same
partition. How does the probing code work regarding this? Does
partition_iterate terminate if the graph has cycles?
