Maybe I have something about this mixed up and it is Bob S's 11.2 device map that needs fixing.
Does Grub v1 actually know how to use /dev/disk* entries? I don't remember ever seeing device.map files of more than 45 or so bytes on any of my 11.2 or Factory installs, too small to be using /dev/disk* strings for mapping.
As far as I know, grub only understands the (hdX,Y) entries. The rest are read by the kernel once it loads.
Do mkinitrd or perl-Bootloader depend on correct device.map entries to function correctly?
I don't know what relly uses that file. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
