There is a problem with the patch, so please don't. When booting on
the pegasosII I see the following problem:
grub> set
prefix=(/address@hidden/address@hidden,1/address@hidden,0,3)
That is when I am booting using `boot hd:4 grub)'.
The prefix contains an OF device name which will not work in GRUB,
mainly because of the comma's. Would it be possible to lookup the OF
path in /aliases and set the prefix to the alias? That will be
something that will work and is more user friendly I think.
Another thing we could do, but which is a bit more ugly, is creating
an alias. I am not sure if it is possible to create an OF alias from
GRUB, but I assume it will be.
Shouldn't the prefix end with a `/' like you mentioned in one of your
other emails. So in this case:
prefix=(/address@hidden/address@hidden,1/address@hidden,0,3)/
Thanks,
Marco
