Bug#486804: grub-pc: also occurs with /boot on different lv than /

[Simon Rutishauser]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080617-1
Followup-For: Bug #486804

I can confirm the existence of this bug for a setup with / on lvm and 
/boot on a separate non-lv partition.

In this case root is set by default to /s lv:
set root=(debian-root)

However changing it to the correct boot partition doesn't help either:
set root=(hd0,1)

It only works when adding the correct root=-line for each grub.lst item 
manually.
