Comments/Problems:
The boot loader installation had a small problem in my case.
In addition to the mentioned /dev/sda I have an IDE hard disk /dev/hda
that contains Windows and SUSE Linux. The boot loader GRUB was
installed in the MBR of /dev/hda, so that it controls the whole boot
process. The other operating systems were recognized and installed
in the boot menu. However, the SUSE installation contains several
files in /boot/vmlinuz* that are not kernels and should not be
entered in the boot menu. The relevant part of the boot menu that
was generated by the Debian installer is:
# This entry automatically added by the Debian installer for an existing
# linux installation on /dev/hda5.
title SuSE Linux 8.2 (i586) (on /dev/hda5)
root (hd0,4)

initrd /boot/initrd

savedefault
boot
Most of these combinations don't work, because the files aren't boot
sectors at all. Users might be confused if they see 9 entries in the
boot menu, most of which don't work.
The entries in the original GRUB menu of the SUSE installation were:
title linux
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 vga=0x31a acpi=off splash=silent showopts
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd
title failsafe
kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz.shipped root=/dev/hda5 showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3
initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd.shipped
The other files can be told apart pretty easily:
# file /mnt/boot/vmlinu*
/mnt/boot/vmlinux.gz: gzip compressed data, was "vmlinux", from Unix, max compression
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz: x86 boot sector
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h: ASCII C program text
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz.config: ASCII English text
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz.shipped: x86 boot sector
/mnt/boot/vmlinuz.version.h: ASCII text
Maybe this method can be used to avoid installing useless boot
menu entries.

Changes:
os-prober (1.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Joey Hess ]
* Patch from VMiklos to sed off (hdn,n) from the front of a kernel path,
as seen in SuSE grub configs. Closes: #258623 although this is fixed
imprefectly since it assumes stripping the string is enough.
* Patch from VMiklos to not require an initrd be specified in the grub
probe.
* Patch from VMiklos to add --mounted option to linux-boot-prober.
May not be useful for d-i but in other situations including for the
Frugalware installer.
.
[ Frans Pop ]
* When parsing a lilo configuration, dereference symbolic links. Not doing
this will break booting the old OS if the link was in / and there was a
separate /boot partition. And grub in general prefers full paths.
Closes: #259825.
* Use environment variable to pass --mounted option to lower level scripts
instead of perpetuating the parameter.
* Add myself to uploaders.
