The first root variable is a Grub variable but se second is a Linux kernel argument. I think changing the Grub notation just beacause it can confuse with the kernel argument is not that good. Linux uses "root" but we cannot garanteed that a another system (*BSD, L4, Mac OS, AmigaOS, etc...) will not use "device". So whaterver the name we use for the Grub variables/function we cannot be sure it will not be used by the system we boot. I think keeping "root" is a good choice as the user is supposed to know the arguments of the kernel he wants to boot and how to invoque it. -- -- ____ / \ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] | o o | - http://antoine.terrienne.free.fr | o | \ #153026466 \ V V / \_/\_/ _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
