This thing needs a regression test suite.
The grub linux-boot-probe has these limitations:
- Does not handle grub present menus.
- Does not support things like (hd0,1)/path/to/file
although in the case of the kernel it will strip
off the drive specification, and look for the file in the current
partition.
The lilo linux-boot-probe has these limitations:
- Doesn't map from devfs to normal if the lilo.conf uses devfs names
(valid?)
linux-boot-prober:
- Partition names in boot loader config may have changed during
the debian install, so cannot be trusted. Fix up root= lines,
etc.
- To get to boot/, may need to parse fstab. But this can fail because
as noted above, drive names may have changed!
- Maybe do some probing before partitioning and store info?
Or don't support adding partitions before existing /boot partitions.
