There is no need for anybody to get upset.
Khimenko, it would have been much easier if you just said ``GRUB can
do what you want using the `map' command, but it is inefficient and
only works under DOS/Windows. To swap drives efficiently under all
OSes cannot be done in general.''

That constraint was not part of the original poster's question, so I
fail to see why you are so adamant about it. He asked a simple
question, and I supplied him with the only feasible answer.
Okuji was miffed at you because you were telling everybody that there
was *no* solution, when in reality the only reasonable solution, and
the one GRUB implements, just didn't fit your own (unstated)
constraint.
Is it clearer now why we saw your post as misinformed? Next time you
post something that disregards another person's opinion, it is better
to state your assumptions rather than sarcastically criticize their
approach.
