Details:
If I pass a device name to it: grub-bios-setup is happy. If I pass a symlink
to that device: it throws an error.
If that's a feature, I'd expect grub-bios-setup to complain that symlinks are
not allowed and for what reason at runtime. Otherwise, please make use of
symlinks possible.
This is what I have been trying to do on the shell originally:
# ls -al /dev/GRUB_BOOT_TEST_DISK
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Jun 12 17:17 /dev/GRUB_BOOT_TEST_DISK -> loop7
# grub-bios-setup --directory=/tmp/tmp.IDdNMT35bf/boot/grub2/i386-pc
--device-map= /dev/GRUB_BOOT_TEST_DISK
Invalid device `/dev/GRUB_BOOT_TEST_DISK'.
Usage: grub-bios-setup [OPTION...] DEVICE
Try `grub-bios-setup --help' or `grub2-bios-setup --usage' for more
information.
# grub2-bios-setup --directory=/tmp/tmp.IDdNMT35bf/boot/grub2/i386-pc
--device-map= /dev/loop7 && echo GOOD
GOOD
I'm referring to GRUB 2.00~beta6 here.
