You could do it the way similar to how it's done on i386-pc:
jmp use_hardcoded
<code to retrieve boot block path>
use_hardcoded:
And then the grub-setup tool nops out the first jump if stage2
resides on a disk different than where bootblock is
Sure we could do that.
But I'm trying to figure out why to bother with this if I
already have all of the (tested) logic and infrastructure to
fill in the device path already?
What about booting from removable device? In this case you can't assume
that device path during install is still valid at booting
It just seems like another case in the matrix which needs to
be tested, and can thus go wrong.
