Bug#384152: update-grub: generates wrong device entries in menu.lst

[Jason Thomas]

update-grub does not do any device detection.  There is a configuration
option in your menu.lst which you need to set.

This is all documented in the update-grub man page. This is also
documented in README.Debian.

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd1,0)

Please close this bug if this is the answer to your problem.

Thanks.
