grub: OS-specific notes about grub tools

 
 3 OS-specific notes about grub tools
 ************************************
 
 On OS which have device nodes similar to Unix-like OS GRUB tools use the
 OS name.  E.g.  for GNU/Linux:
 
      # grub-install /dev/sda
 
    On AROS we use another syntax.  For volumes:
 
      //:<volume name>
 
    E.g.
 
      //:DH0
 
    For disks we use syntax:
      //:<driver name>/unit/flags
 
    E.g.
 
      # grub-install //:ata.device/0/0
 
    On Windows we use UNC path.  For volumes it's typically
 
      \\?\Volume{<GUID>}
      \\?\<drive letter>:
 
    E.g.
 
      \\?\Volume{17f34d50-cf64-4b02-800e-51d79c3aa2ff}
      \\?\C:
 
    For disks it's
 
      \\?\PhysicalDrive<number>
 
    E.g.
 
      # grub-install \\?\PhysicalDrive0
 
    Beware that you may need to further escape the backslashes depending
 on your shell.
 
    When compiled with cygwin support then cygwin drive names are
 automatically when needed.  E.g.
 
      # grub-install /dev/sda
