What is so annoying about an all zero based counting vs. the
IMHO clumsy half zero (drives) / half 1 (partitions) based
counting? Given the choice I would even prefer Grub syntax
over Linux syntax. (A random, not quite serious thought -
what about hd(666,42)?)

Maybe I will end up as a Grub fanatic one day. ;-)
