GRUB2 partition numbers are 1-based now?

[Darron Black <darron@griffin.net>]

I'd like to make sure I'm not going crazy.

 From the Ubuntu 9.10 installs I've done recently, I've noticed 
/dev/sda1 -> (hd0,1), /dev/sda2 -> (hd0,2), etc, etc.

At first I thought it was a bug with the grub.cfg generation...  since I 
was only getting the grub> prompt on boot and typing in the same line 
with (hd0,N-1) worked.  (I guess because the UUID overrode it?) 

I investigated and noticed that the function that built the device name 
(on the wrong OS at the moment, so can't look it up) definitely did a + 1.

I've quickly searched the archive (probably somewhat clumsily) and I 
didn't turn up anything definitive.

So...  (hd0,N) partitions are officially 1-based now, right?   That's 
super confusing.  Could a note be added to the autogenerated grub.cfg?  :)
