Follow-up Comment #6, bug #34786 (project grub):
Crap. You are right! I did not notice /dev/sdb3 suddenly appeared (it was not
formated before I started installation process). It must be kind of Windows
installer magic. And it looks like this would be the proper Windows7 boot
partition. In the following /dev/sdb3 is mounted as /mnt/Windows_XP not to
need to create more and more folders under /mnt :
/mnt/Windows_XP/:
Boot bootmgr BOOTSECT.BAK System Volume Information w7ldr
/mnt/Windows_XP/Boot:
BCD BOOTSTAT.DAT el-GR Fonts ja-JP nl-NL ru-RU zh-HK
BCD.LOG cs-CZ en-US fr-FR ko-KR pl-PL sv-SE zh-TW
BCD.LOG1 da-DK es-ES hu-HU memtest.exe pt-BR tr-TR
BCD.LOG2 de-DE fi-FI it-IT nb-NO pt-PT zh-CN
/mnt/Windows_XP/Boot/cs-CZ:
bootmgr.exe.mui memtest.exe.mui
/mnt/Windows_XP/Boot/da-DK:
bootmgr.exe.mui
/mnt/Windows_XP/Boot/de-DE:
bootmgr.exe.mui
... and many more language .mui.
This is the output of $ echo /sys/block/
loop0/ loop2/ loop4/ loop6/ sda/ sdc/ sr0/
loop1/ loop3/ loop5/ loop7/ sdb/ sdd/ sr1/
In the evening I will try to redirect W7 boot menu item to /dev/sdb3 (what I
expect to work now) and will report back.
If this kind of boot will be succesfull, is there any chance to hold it all in
/dev/sda3 (e.g. moving the root items and /boot folder into /dev/sda3,
eventually with replacing 1st sector of /dev/sda3 with the content of first
sector of /dev/sdb3) ?
Any other useful ideas, clues, recommendations or test requests?
