Thanks for that. Well at least it's in the pipeline, you'd wonder why
it wasn't done "properly" from the very start. Another cool thing in a
similar vein would be the ability to label hard drives (IDE or SCSI) so
that they appear as the right thing no matter what device/ide channel
they appear on. I wonder do these things have serial numbers on them
that can be read at boot time?
