On my pegasos the devalias is looked up perfectly for both ethernet
and the harddisk. :)

On my pegasos the partition numbering is 0-based as well.  So when I
run `boot hd:4 grub2', I get `prefix=(hd,3)'.  This should be
`prefix=(hd,4)'.  So my pegasos has proven me right already about what
I said about firmware. :-/
