I was just looking at that. In disk/raid.c:129 we set the flag that 
tells the system to try looking for partitions. I've been debating 
whether to add code to disk/raid.c to detect if there actually is a 
partition table (by probing for all known partition types) or fix the 
tab completion code to offer a ')' also instead of assuming you want a 
partition.

I'm not sure of the GRUB design philosophy, but the first option might 
be considered a layering violation. Maybe grub_device_open() should 
check and then clear the flag if it doesn't have a table.
