Well it would appear that it does currently scan for partitions inside all partition types. After all msdos partitions tables may only exist in MBR and extended partitions, but BSD and Solaris slices can exist in other partitions, and those should be detected. Perhaps the msdos partition scanner needs to be tought the special rules that apply to msdos partition tables as an exception. -- Len Sorensen _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
