As far as I understand it, grub2 will dynamically create the device.map |
| 12 |
when it needs it, so it doesn't actually exist as a file. On my grub legacy |
| 13 |
system it is installed as /boot/grub/device.map, with the only contents |
| 14 |
being "(hd0) /dev/sda". |

How you would feed grub this information *before* it is installed I'm not |
| 17 |
sure, but maybe look into the USE=device-mapper flag, maybe it installs the |
| 18 |
grub-mkdevicemap executable. |
