I still don't understand this part. Maybe you could split your patch into smaller parts? Suppose we hard drives at 0x80 and 0x82 and a CD at 0x90. We can call grub_biosdisk_get_cdinfo_int13_extension() and figure out that 0x90 is the boot CD, so we call it (cd0). Then we go through the drives and call them (hd0), (hd1). If it's OK to have an alias, why not suppress of hide the original name? At what point do we need to use the _name_ to calculate the BIOS number? Why cannot we simply store that number into some field? -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
