Besides the ".." typo in the file, which suggests it was never
tested, there is this:

result "${partition}:${long}:${label}:reactos"

What is the "reactos" in the bootloader type field at the end supposed
to do? As far as I know, the only valid values are "linux" and "chain",
and I suspect here it should be chain.

Obviously, this should not be added to os-prober until someone has
actually tested it.
