Hi folks

PV-GRUB built from Xen 3.3.0 is not able to read from devices without a
partition table:

| grubdom> root (hd0)
|  Filesystem type unknown, using whole disk

Part of the config:
| disk = [ "phy:vg0_sledgehammer/servext_root,xvda,w" ]

Device:
| # file -s /dev/vg0_sledgehammer/servext_root       
| /dev/vg0_sledgehammer/servext_root: symbolic link to 
`/dev/mapper/vg0_sledgehammer-servext_root'
| # file -s /dev/mapper/vg0_sledgehammer-servext_root 
| /dev/mapper/vg0_sledgehammer-servext_root: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data
