No, that is not correct. That does not hold any information about what
grub has. Where whould a program or script get the (hd3,2) info from that?

I think I am not being clear. I am looking for a command or program or
script that translates either /media/data or /dev/hdf3 to the correct root
information.

I am able to calculate it myself. I just want the computer to do it for me.
A command that has /dev/hdf3 as input and hd3,2 as output (or whatever is
correct)
