Leo: Exactly how many "user" level people will understand a disk ordering other than what they see in their BIOS boot display, assuming they actually watch that display?
If a "user" has only one disk, or had no two disks the same size, they might be able to figure out that BIOS disk 0 is /dev/sdc to grub, but, if they have two or more disks of the same size (common with machines having 250G and 1TB disks for some reason) they cannot identify which one _should_ really boot because grub tosses 3 coins and counts the number of heads at each boot when it chooses which like sized device goes first. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/496435 Title: upgrades of the grub-pc package can overwrite wrong MBR -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
