Bug#497198: grub-pc: detects wrong partition for other OS (winXP)

[Niko Cavallini Araya]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080724-9
Severity: important

Hi on a clean install of debian sid, using daily image from 27/08/08 i think
the installation of grub2 detected a windows partition in sda2 correcly but 
specified hd0,1 in the boot command rather than hd0,2 wich is the correct one
I edited moved and edited otheros to /etc/grub.d/07_otheros to fix this.

Thanks


PS: should a clean install have chainload from menu.lst=true?
