fix Old World disk access

This patch works around a bug in Old World Mac firmware. It allows "open" to succeed but fails at least "seek" when disks are opened with a trailing ":0". With the patch, we can get output like this:

grub> linux (scsi/sd,
Possible partitions are: Partition num:0, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:1, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:2, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:3, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:4, Filesystem type Unknown
Partition num:5, Filesystem type ext2

(The use of BAT mappings must be replaced before the kernel will boot, but unfortunately that will have to wait for another day.)

You can commit this patch.

Can you please make patches using cvs -up next time?
