Bug#433875: example preseed, grub info



Package: installation-guide
Version: 20070319
Severity: wishlist

Due to the way grub does device ordering (see my comments sent to #283312), 
I needed a way with preseeding to hard code the device that grub installs 
to, rather than count on grub's (hd#) naming. The existing example preseed 
file has the following:

#d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string (hd0,0)
# To install grub to multiple disks:
#d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string (hd0,0) (hd1,0) (hd2,0)

After reading the code I discovered that you can just as easily use a 
device instead of the grub naming. Can you please add an additional example 
to the example preseed file, maybe something like

# To hard code to a particular device:
#d-i grub-installer/bootdev  string /dev/sda

Thanks,
