Hi, This was recently fixed in upstream. According to Felix (CCed), grub-setup still has trouble, though: grub-setup: error: cannot open `/dev/da0' in open_device() perhaps it's as simple as device.map not having the right device names? Is a different device node needed for raw device access? -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
