Summary: "bad device number" == 8 devices max
Original Submission: In lib/device.c around line 428 we see that the device
number must be between 0 and 8. This causes the "bad device number" error
during "grub-install /dev/sda2" or similar, as well as complaints about stage1
being invalid.
I'm running on a JBOD system (no RAID) with 13 hard drives. Since I'm booting
from one of the first drives, I simply edited /boot/grub/device.map by hand and
truncated after the 9th entry. "grub-install" ran correctly.
If there is a subtle reason why only 9 device numbers are supported, it should
probably be mentioned in the grub info pages among the list of other errors
(i.e., a documentation fix). On the other hand, if we were just waiting for
someone to encounter this limit, here I am!
Thanks for great software!
