(none) =>
pterjan, thierry.vignaud The code does:
my $name = $_->{info} || $_->{device_LABEL};
$boot_devices{$dev} = $name ? "$dev ($name)" : $dev;
So, it will display info or device_LABEL if they exist
info is set on disks (and probably LVM), device_LABEL is set if the partition has a label
We can easily use $_->{mntpoint} but should it be displayed only if no label, or the opposite, display only the label if there is no mount point?
We can't display too much information (it has to fit in text mode too)
I would suggest to try first label, then mount point, then size + filesystem
That sounds ideal. Size and type would be helpful alone to identify which sdX was which and is much better than guessing :) Fixed in svn (first tries mountpoint, then info or label, then size+fs_type) Thanks Pascal :) Closing Status:

Noticed during pre-release testing of Mga 2 Beta 3 DVD. Configuring the bootloader from the summary screen during installation there is a drop down to select which partition to install grub to. The info in the drop down is just a list of /dev/sdX It would benefit from some extra details, such as /dev/sdX (size - type). eg. /dev/sda7 (12Gb - ext4) /dev/sda8 (2Gb - Swap) /dev/sda9 (60Gb - ext4) Perhaps even specifying the mount point if available.
