I don't like this, it will make it hard or impossible to install GRUB
on certain systems.
Maybe you misunderstood me a bit.
I didn't mean that grub would need to know which partition has this
"special" status. Instead grub would give a general read/write access
to any partition as a single block of data, and user would then use
the partition he wants.
e.g.
# Read 1024 bytes from partition (hd0,3) starting at position 0
data = read (hd0,3), 0, 1024;
# Write new data to that same position
write (hd0,3), 0, newdata;
