Very nice.  Actually, I'm going ahead and going a step further to commit
it and cleaned it up a little style-wise (mostly just changing to using
sprintf in places instead of strcats, some spacing stuff that could well
be mailer artifact, making methods static, and removing some old/debug
code).  The only real functional change in what I committed is that
instead of having to explicitly call probeBiosDisks(), it figures it out
when it needs to be called.

Right now the warnings are just printed, but some better handling of
this will (obviously) have to happen.

Like I said, looked nice so I've gone ahead and committed what's
currently there to the trunk of CVS.  `cvs -d:pserver:
anonymous@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/local/CVS co anaconda` should get you
what's currently there.  I haven't tested it beyond "it builds", but
plan to do so either over the weekend or on Monday.
