(very minor) error in GRUB manual? |

http://www.mcc.ac.uk/grub/grub_24.html section "The format of the table
entry" shows x86 registers for bytes 1,2,3 and 5,6,7 (CHS) of the entry.
It shows 1,5 = DL, 2,6=CH and 3,7=CL
I believe 1,5 should be DH.
Examining http://www.mcc.ac.uk/grub/grub_22.html , DH is used for head
number and DL is used for drive number (MSBit set for hard disk).
=====
I find the table entry description to be a bit confusing in general because
register names are mixed with mnemonics such as TB for the partition "type
byte."
====
In any case, I am glad the resource was available when I needed it even if
it did take a bit of deciphering. Thanks!
Respectfully,
Morgan Woodson
