I have a machine with both Linux and Windows installed on the hard drive. Linux runs on the bare metal and I occasionally run the Windows install in a VM using KVM pointed at /dev/sda. However if I'm not quick enough, or Windows decides to reboot when I'm not around to notice, the grub running under KVM will decide to boot Linux and much confusion ensues.
I couldn't find an easy way to test what the running environment was, so I knocked up a simple testpci command that allows me to test for the existence of a PCI device and change the default boot option based on that. I have: | if testpci 8086:1237; then | set default="2" | fi in my grub.cfg to correctly select the Windows partition if the qemu provided host bridge is present.
