+* Fix grub for user-space partitions (expected 2010-07-12)
+    * Currently, when using user-space partitions,
+      grub-probe detects the whole device rather than the partition
+      as the device behind /boot/grub.
+      Consequently, grub-install fails.
+    * One approach would be to replace /dev/hd* by kernel devices
+      for file systems as well as for swap partitions.
+    * On the other hand, grub-probe will need to be fixed
+      sooner or later for user-space partition support,
+      and parsing the fsysopts would possibly be an option.
