Raphael,
Except for the : instead of the , this looks like the grub hard disk
nomenclature that's been around for a thousand years. Certainly since
early GRUB1.
Example:
(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
Why did you chose : instead of grub's , ?
I'm guessing (like grub) that disks & partitions are 0-based?
(Were the original grub authors European?)

#Before proceeding with the MultiFS patchset, let's discuss the MultiFS
syntax.
#
#It's currently as follows:
#(hd[disk number]:[partition number])/path/to/file
#
#Any objections?
#
