Rather than stating "The search lines are not meaningful ...",
this exercise has revealed that the next 2 lines are equivalent in their effect:
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 11b62acd-ee91-43f7-a619-c4b5cb5fa5e7
set root=UUID=11b62acd-ee91-43f7-a619-c4b5cb5fa5e7
and either of the above 2 lines supercede a line like this:
set root=(hd4,10)
whichever one occurs last.
So I found that I can have it like this if I choose:
menuentry "GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.33 (UUID)" {
insmod ext2
set root=UUID=11b62acd-ee91-43f7-a619-c4b5cb5fa5e7
linux /boot/vmlinux-2.6.33
}
In the LFS spirit of learning how linux works, I found learning
something about how the esoteric grub2 works to be meaningful. Anyone
is welcome to disagree.
