Bug#422851: grub-pc: Configuration fails if there is no /dev/fd0

[Sam Morris]

I noticed that grub-probe gets the list of devices to probe from the
existing /boot/grub/device.map. If I removed the line from that file
that mentioned /dev/fd0 (which has never existed on this system) then
grub-probe no longer fails. However, I still can't get grub2 to install:

        # dpkg --configure --pending
        Setting up grub-pc (1.95+20070507-1) ...
        Updating /boot/grub/grub.cfg ...
        Found linux image:  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-4-k7
        Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-k7
        done
        Auto-detection of a partition map module failed.
        Please specify the module with the option `--modules' explicitly.
        dpkg: error processing grub-pc (--configure):
         subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
        dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grub2:
         grub2 depends on grub-pc; however:
          Package grub-pc is not configured yet.
        dpkg: error processing grub2 (--configure):
         dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
        Errors were encountered while processing:
         grub-pc
         grub2
