[Buildroot] [PATCH] grub2: Specify boot partition

Jérôme Pouiller jezz at sysmic.org
Tue Jul 1 08:44:49 UTC 2014


Since boot partition was not specified, grub tools try to detect it
automatically. This patch add an option to force it.

Notice I am not sure -p option is usefull when -c option is used.
