I understand that os-prober is some kind of heuristic, but wouldn't
it be more wise to delay the look at the first sector until the
file system has been examined? Obviously the information stored
in sector #0 is less reliable.

Anyway, many thanx for the fix. I just tried it on my laptop.
Seems to work.
