Thanks Stefan.
I propose that if grub-probe can't find an entry in device.map to convert the
device it just found to a grub drive, it runs grub-mkdevicemap and tries again.
Other approaches would be to kill device.map completely and just pipe the
information from grub-mkdevicemap directly, but I think that might be too
radical.
What does everyone think?
