Bug#488294: grub-pc: defaults existing windows installation on first partition of first hd to (hd0, 0)

[Frank Ströhlein]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080512-1
Severity: important

When installing lenny i was asked if grub2 should be used, which i confirmed ok.
A Windows installation was found on hda1 and a corresponding menuentry was added
to grub.cfg. I had to change 'set root=(hd0,0)' to 'set root=(hd0,1)' afterwards
to succesfully boot into M$ - Mode.

As far is i know, grub2 starts counting partitions with 1, so is assume this should be taken care of.

Regards,

Frank
