grub and devfs

[Christian Hesse]

Hello!

I've just installed a Linux from Scratch with device filesystem. Of course I 
use grub as my prferred bootloader. ;) But I had some trouble writing it to 
the mbr:

address@hidden:~# grub-install /dev/discs/disc0/disc
/dev/discs/disc0/disc does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

As disc0/ is a symlink to ../ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/ I tried to write 
grub to /dev/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc and I worked without problems. Why 
can't grub handle symlinks or is there another mistake I made? Or is it a 
feature anyway?

Regards,
  Christian
