[bug #11771] bad work around for partitions on linux

[Sarah Smith]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #11771 (project grub):

I used the following workaround successfully:

strace to identify the device node name grub was trying to open - in my case
"/dev/loop0p0".

Assuming the state at the end of the above failed grub run, with $offset
still set appropriately and /dev/loop0 associated with the $image:

(cd /dev && ln -s loop1 loop0p0)
losetup -o$offset /dev/loop1 $image

then run the above grub commands again -> success
