Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-17
Severity: important
Tags: patch
To boot grub with a software RAID across multiple drives, grub must use
it's internal default of the "root" device, and as such, the "root"
device line cannot appear in the configs. There is currently no way to
disable the "root" option. (It defaults to "hd0,0" when empty.)
This patch allows for "none" to be set, so that grub can continue to
boot off of whatever drive it loaded itself from.
