Hi,

There are always two images in /boot: image_big which is the image that
was installed and image_latest which is the last image that was compiled
(or, on a fresh installation, equal to the former). There may be more
images in the /boot/image directory, but their names are variable which
is not convenient for GRUB.
The MINIX installation script only supports a configuration with three
partitions: /, /home and /usr. Although theoretically it is possible for
someone to hack together a different configuration, this is very
unlikely and not a 'supported' set-up. It seems reasonable that in such
a case the user also manually configure GRUB.
With kind regards,
Erik van der Kouwe
