It's not the prettiest solution, but it would reduce the number of 
"support incidents." And, after all, reducing the number of support 
incidents is the goal of usability.

Not selecting EXT3 is a little more understandable, because there are 
many options -- cramfs, xfs, reiserfs, etc, depending on target. 
However, the number of people who DO want SATA support but DO NOT want 
SD block device support is... uh.. anyone?

Solving the problem bigger and better, by factoring "SD" into a 
mid-level menu, and maybe calling it something non-SCSI, would probably 
be even better. And even more work.

OK, I'll go hide now and try not to fan any flames. And thanks again to 
Andi for nailing my problem right away!
