Urm I forgot:
probable better if you make also an apple filesystem on it
and check your device.map that it's right and has an try for the /dev/
you're testing with.
grub-mkdevicemap makes a new one if you don't want to run grub-install
--recheck
The best would be a real test, not something constructed
So grabbing a harddisk used on an apple and then overwriting it with a
msdos partition scheme and linux filesystem and having linux installed
on it
So basicly as I already said in my mail before:
Almost the same situation as you had as you reported the bug :)
