I definitely agree. It's only a minor "cosmetic" issue.

Ok. I perfectly understand that this issue is hardly of any importance. It 
might be more interesting if it would occur for a number of devices (and 
not only my single cd-rw ;). Maybe someone else stumbles over this thread 
who immediately knows what could be the reason for the behaviour. 
Personally, I can live with my workaround and since I am not familiar with 
the scsi code, it would not really pay off to delve into it just to make 
the boot screen look a little better :-)

Thanks for your time and support.

Thomas
