If I understand correctly, that means a user will specify "(hd,1)" to
mean "the first partition on device 'hd'", where they used to specify
"(hd,0)"?
I'm very happy to see that; I agree with the decision. However, I was a
bit surprised as well. I haven't been following grub-devel that closely
recently, but I didn't see any proposal about it. Did I miss it?
