There's a map file in /boot/grub, exact name eludes me right now. This is what allows you to use standard /dev names, and it can sometimes stuff you around if the map file is wrong. I believe current grub packages regenerate this map file on each grub-install run, which I believe is a Debian-specific feature in itself. > > maybe someone should confer with the grub upstream and ask if that's a > > feature that can be expected to continue to exist? > > If the currently documented feature stops working, we can always file a > bug. ;-) See above. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
