$ sudo grub-probe -d /dev/sda1 -t drive (hd0,1) I have a reason to want to do the reverse of this: I have a libparted-based program that ensures that at least one partition on a disk is marked active (needed for some BIOSes), and would like to call it on the disk selected for installation of GRUB in d-i. Of course libparted is only going to understand OS device names. If possible I'd rather avoid reading device.map by hand to figure out how to map (hd0,1) back to /dev/sda1. Is there any way to do this with the code as it stands, and if not would it make sense to make it possible to pass GRUB device names to grub-probe?
