Comments/Problems: GRUB fails to install on /dev/fd0 (same for (fd0) notation).

- Syslog:
Aug 15 21:08:07 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on '/dev/fd0'
Aug 15 21:08:07 grub-installer: info: grub-install supports --no-floppy
Aug 15 21:08:07 grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target /sbin/grub-install --no-floppy "/dev/fd0"
Aug 15 21:08:07 grub-installer: error: Running 'grub-install --no-floppy "/dev/fd0"' failed.
Aug 15 21:08:09 main-menu[294]: WARNING **: Configuring 'grub-installer' failed with error code 1
Aug 15 21:08:09 main-menu[294]: WARNING **: Menu item 'grub-installer' failed.

- Executing grub-install from shell (chroot /target /sbin/grub-install /dev/fd0) gave:
/dev/fd0 does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.

- I booted an existing install on hda5 and mounted hda7, but same problem.

- Then changed device.map to include fd0 (workaround?)
original /boot/grub/device.map:
(hd0) /dev/hda
changed /boot/grub/device.map:
(hd0) /dev/hda
(fd0) /dev/fd0

- This worked (/dev/hda7 mounted to /dock):
debian:/# chroot /dock /sbin/grub-install /dev/fd0
Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

(hd0) /dev/hda
(fd0) /dev/fd0

- Reboot went fine.
