	* util/biosdisk.c (grub_util_biosdisk_open, open_device)
	(grub_util_biosdisk_read, grub_util_biosdisk_write)
	(grub_util_biosdisk_get_grub_dev): When issuing grub_error() calls,
	include `strerror (errno)' information in the message string.

	* util/misc.c (grub_util_error): Invoke grub_print_error() before
	printing the caller-provided string.
