Package: grub
Version: 0.97-23
Severity: wishlist
I have debian AMD64 install and want to have a seperate partion for
debian 32, which both distributions sharing a smaller ext3 boot
partion.
Unfortunately the different kernels assign the sata drives in a
different order, so with one my root directory in /dev/sdc3 and on the
other it's /dev/sde3.
I wanted to use the grub kopts line to customise for the diferent
architectures.

kopt_x_y_z with a extra variable to identify the architecture
ie. amd64 or k7.
Doesn't seem to support it. Hence a wishlist bug report.

Sorry. grub.cfg (formerly menu.lst) generation depends more and more on
parameters that are obtained from your running system, and it's not possible
for us to support a /boot partition that is shared by different systems
automaticaly.
If you want such /boot partition, you have to write the extra menu entries
yourself, and then yet cross your fingers and hope that nothing breaks.
