One who has not taken the trouble to learn this translation scheme would obviously need a cheat sheet of some kind, but that learning is something I would expect an average 9 year old to be able to pick up and remember in less than 30 minutes of instruction, self-taught or otherwise. Maybe I'm giving the 9 year old too much credit, and maybe it is different for those whose native language is not English, but remembering /dev device c == Grub device 2 and /dev partition 5 == Grub partition 4 is just not a problem for me. -- "Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle."
