I'd like to make sure I'm not going crazy.
From the Ubuntu 9.10 installs I've done recently, I've noticed
/dev/sda1 -> (hd0,1), /dev/sda2 -> (hd0,2), etc, etc.
At first I thought it was a bug with the grub.cfg generation... since I
was only getting the grub> prompt on boot and typing in the same line
with (hd0,N-1) worked. (I guess because the UUID overrode it?)
I investigated and noticed that the function that built the device name
(on the wrong OS at the moment, so can't look it up) definitely did a + 1.
I've quickly searched the archive (probably somewhat clumsily) and I
didn't turn up anything definitive.
So... (hd0,N) partitions are officially 1-based now, right? That's
super confusing. Could a note be added to the autogenerated grub.cfg? :)
