you should writing down sth. like this:

| disk=['phy:...', 'phy:...', 'phy:...']
where each "phy:..." is the definition for one device.
E.g.:

| disk=['phy:hda5,hda5,w','phy:hda6,hda6,w']

But isn't this mentioned in the docs somewhere?

This is because the second "disk=..." line overwrites the first one
which is probably your / filesystem.

Then the first one is not overwritten, and your / filesystem is
available.

PS: Shame on me if the adivce I gave should not be correct.  I have
never tried it, but these config files are actually python source files,
and since one declares a list using square brackets, it only makes sense
to do it with a list of strings.  So just try it (-:
