Ah, my last mail is wrong - I didn't run it as root... sorry. :)
The error message is misleading - it should say something else
when it hasn't got permissions to read the device.
The version from CVS reads the partitions, when run as root. However:
grub> root (hd0,<pressed TAB>
Possible partitions are:
Partition num: 0, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xb
Partition num: 4, Filesystem type is fat, partition type 0xb
Partition num: 5, Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83
Partition num: 6, Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
Partition type 0x82 is Linux swap here.
Thanks everyone, for all the help!
