Bug#235606: update-grub should realize root is not set.

[Margarita Manterola]

Package: grub
Version: 0.93+cvs20030624-3
Severity: normal

Hi!

Things happened like this: I had grub installed.  I had edited it long
ago, to add a Win32 partition on (hd0,0).  Then, some months later, 
I updated the kernel, and trusting update-grub, I ran it.

Then I rebooted and discovered (too late) that I was left with an
unbootable system.  I know I should have known better, I realized
afterwards that I hadn't set the "automagic" groot, but I really
thought that update-grub was intelligent enough to detect the way the
partitions were set...

It should, at least, check that the system is bootable, warn the user,
or something.

Love,
Margarita Manterola.
