Bug#360041: savedefault makes grub segfault when /boot is in a separate partition

[Kiko Piris]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-6
Severity: normal


Hi,

I have /boot in a separate partition, I wanted to use grub-reboot and
the call to grub always segfaults with the savedefault command.

I've strace'd it and found the following:

open("/boot/grub/default", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++


I thought it would accept --root-directory=/boot argument like
grub-install does, but grub seems not to accept it.

Thanks
