That is, use the drive specified and keep calling next_partition() until the last partition is reached? I saw a comment in the code that next_partition() may not be reliable. I'm perfectly willing to modify my local copy of grub to do this, but I wanted to sound the idea off of the existing developers to make sure it is possible. Perhaps I could add a special partition number, '$' (to borrow from regular expression syntax), which could mean last partition?
