Package: os-prober
Version: 1.28
Severity: wishlist

The attached files allow os-prober to detect (mounted) BFS (wrongly named befs 
in
Linux) partitions and emit the code for GRUB2 to chain them.

Of course they must have been 'makebootable'd from BeOS or Haiku at install 
time.
The distinction comes from the bootloader path which is different in BeOS and 
Haiku,
and also allows skipping non bootable partition altogether.

GRUB2 should also now be able to load haiku_loader directly from BFS and start 
it as
multiboot, but it's not the preferred method anyway.

Tested on an existing install, though testing with an install CD didn't work 
since the
installer doesn't mount BFS partitions (the befs module doesn't even seem to be
present on the CD !).

The 60 prefix is totally arbitrary, it can be changed.

They both go to os-probes/mounted/x86/ in os-prober distribution,
and to /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted on install.

François.
