Is there a way in the blocklist syntax (e.g., "(hd0)0+100" to specify blocks
0-99 of hd0) to specify all blocks? It looks like the offset is optional,
but the length is required.
Yes, looks like it.
Is there some other way to specify the entire contents of a device to
commands that take a file argument?
I can think of two ways to get it
- allow ($hdd) syntax without filename to mean "full device"
As I was reading the GRUB2 documentation, I thought that was the way
that it worked. I was looking at implementing that behavior when I
discovered the blocklist syntax and figured that I would try using that
instead. I can get the block count.
What is the blocksize for the blocks specified in the blocklist?
Filesystem blocksize (2048 in my case since the filesystem is iso-9660),
512 or something else?
I am trying to pass an iso filesystem image to the loaded OS through the
Multiboot2 info.

- extend probe command to query device size, so you could do
probe --size --set size $hdd
whatever ($hdd)+$size
I prefer the latter. Patches are welcome :) But please explain your
use case if submitting.
