So right now I am trying to install grub the proper way on a loop device. To that end I am following this guide: http://ebroder.net/2009/08/04/installing-grub-onto-a-disk-image/ I understand pretty much everything with the exception of the last '0' in the table info that is passed to `dmsetup create hda'. As far as I can see the table consists of the following: echo '0 20971520 linear 7:0 0' | sudo dmsetup create hda | | | | | | | | | | | +--- ??? | | | | +--- minor device number | | | +--- major device number | | +--- target type | +--- num sectors +---start sector
What does the last '0' do?! Anders
