Exactly. It is ideal that one can use software without reading a manual appropriately. The reality is different, but we should make effort to get closer to this goal. > Maybe grub should use the way of designating a disk/partition in the > same way as what OS it is running on? > Yes, being different for each OS. :-) Unfortunately, this would cause strange behaviors. For example, suppose that you have installed GRUB into a floppy or CD-R. When you bring it to another computer, how should GRUB behave? Mimic the operating system on which GRUB was installed? Mimic the operating system the user is trying to boot? If you have multiple operating systems installed, which one???
