[Grml] The fromhd cheatcode does not work for NTFS partitions

[Tong Sun]

Package: grml
Version: 0.9-stable2
Severity: important

Hi,

I found that the fromhd cheatcode does not work for NTFS partitions. 

Of the following grub boot menu, 

title           GRML 0.9
  root          (hd0,2)
  kernel  /boot.grml/isolinux/linux26 welcome noeject noprompt
ramdisk_size=1000
00 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791\ nomce fromhd=/dev/sda2
  initrd  /boot.grml/isolinux/minirt26.gz
  savedefault
  boot

the fromhd=/dev/sda2 won't work -- can't find grml image, while 
the fromhd=/dev/sda8 works fine. 

Both /dev/sda2 & /dev/sda8 have identical /GRML root directory. The
only difference is that my sda2 is NTFS and sda8 is FAT.

Test environment: grml 0.9.
