Comment 3 for bug 425421

@Colin Watson: indeed users shouldn't *need* to interact with Grub's drive numbers or partition numbers.

But when they choose to, they shouldn't be confused by two different counting methods in the same name. Mixing counting methods is a very bad idea.

This not only creates unnecessary confusion for users, but may also cause bugs in peripheral software later on. Software developers may not always be sufficiently aware of this mixed counting method.

Given the reaction of Felix Zielcke: may I suggest that partition counting in Grub2 will start from 0 again, just like in the old Grub? I think that would be the best solution for everybody.
