This behaviour of inhibiting the '--no-floppy' flag
when creating device.map from scratch is clearly
mentioned in the texinfo page
"15.1 Introduction to the grub shell".
I have twice worked through the upstream source
code,
only to find that this phenomenon is due to the coding
of the functions
read_device_map and init_device_map
in the file
grub-0.97/util/device.map
and nowhere else. The only true bug that came out of
this is that there is no texinfo page for the builtin
grub-shell function "dump", which is called by the
script grub_install and thus should be documented.
I will probably work through the code once more,
but there seem to be little reason to tamper with
this code, so #282063 should possibly be removed as
a misconception (or feature!). All the more so, since
the code effectuating this behaviour is ONLY run
when device.map is unreadable or lacking. Can this
bug report be moved to the wish-list?
