I was inspired by grub-probe but this way it's ok too

It was the intent. I'm norking on nested partitions and consider the
following situation:
hd0 is subdivided by pc partmap into
hd0,1 - linux
hd0,2 - solaris which is subdivided by sun partmap into
hd0,2,1 - root
hd0,2,2 - swap
Then
probe -p hd0 gives "none"
probe -p hd0,2 gives "pc"
probe -p hd0,2,2 gives "sun"
another possibility would be
probe -p hd0 gives "pc"
probe -p hd0,2 gives "sun"
probe -p hd0,2,2 gives "none"
I don't have strong preference for one or other option but it can't
say "pc" on both hd0 and hd0,1
P.S. could you improve & commit your target libc patch?
