It gets the relevant disk and partition via a call to "multipath -l" and then installs grub like: TERM=linux $chroot $ROOT \ grub --device-map=/dev/null >/var/log/grub-${frtype}.log 2>&1 </dev/null <<EOF device (hd0,$frgrubroot) $disc_offered device (hd0) $frdev root (hd0,$frgrubroot) setup (hd0) quit EOF This broke as soon as we switched from grub legacy to grub2, so it probably doesn't hurt much as folks have to fetch a patched grub (#442381) legacy and install it by hand anyway: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/MultipathSupport Debian's relevance in these HA storage areas is quiet low anyway and since RHEL and SLES suport it nicely: http://sources.redhat.com/lvm2/wiki/MultipathUsageGuide it's probably not worh bothering too much at all.
