FILO trunk can't boot from hdb, with or without my patch. Has anyone ever been able to boot a kernel from a slave device?
In blockdev.c unsigned long is used for the sector, this will overflow when a kernel is beyond 2TB on a drive. The IDE driver users sector_t which is typedef:ed to uint64_t or unsigned long long. Maybe GRUB2 will be here before this becomes a problem.
