I'm booting through virtualbox and through native boot from the same real partition, and I would like this bootloader to run without error both virtually and natively. When it installs I think it introspects the disk for some id or another. Either the virtual machine or the real partition will refuse to boot if I ran the installer from the opposite one; it thinks its drive has gone missing. How can I ensure that the virtual hard disk has a matching set of drive identifiers to the real physical hard disk. Note I can't choose the identifiers, but I need to set the virtual ones to match the real ones." defect closed virtual disk VirtualBox 3.2.8 invalid bootloader disk id introspection config other Linux
