[1] http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:YaST_tricks#Invoking_terminal_from_YaST Ps. I'm planning to remove device.map as grub device is not essentially required by grub2's config or utilities to work. I see no good reason for it's presence. (In old days, YaST has to figure out the grub(bios) device and os device mapping and grub manipulates on grub device names only (which maps to certain os device). Now with grub2, as long as it accepts os device names (among others like by-id and so on) this mapping could be obsoleted). The only concern to me is that it must not break the upgrading path of running setup which using grub device names ..
