+* Fix grub for user-space partitions (expected 2010-07-12)
+ * Currently, when using user-space partitions,
+ grub-probe detects the whole device rather than the partition
+ as the device behind /boot/grub.
+ Consequently, grub-install fails.
+ * One approach would be to replace /dev/hd* by kernel devices
+ for file systems as well as for swap partitions.
+ * On the other hand, grub-probe will need to be fixed
+ sooner or later for user-space partition support,
+ and parsing the fsysopts would possibly be an option.
