This won't work on machines with lots of SCSI targets (I suppose
IDE could have the same problem although it's much less likely)
I'm pretty sure that we don't support the '+' metacharacter, but what
would really work is:
KERNEL="[hs]d[a-z]+"
because after sdz we go on to sdaa. I'm not really complaining, because
it seems unlikely that you would find machines with cdroms after the
first 26 SCSI targets. I'm just pointing out that this rule isn't
exactly correct.
