Re: enumerating with Grub* (was: reasons to ditch LILO before...)

The thing that always frustrated me about grub is that, iirc, they counted
disks / partitions different than lilo and the rest of Linux--they start
counting at 1 (like Windows, iirc), and lilo and Linux start counting at 0--is
that still the case?

Grub and Grub2 count drives starting with 0 (as a BIOS does).

Grub also counts partitions starting with 0.

Grub2 inexplicably counts partitions starting with 1.
