Comments/Problems:
Doing tests with automatic installs and preseed files
I found that when using the hd-media usb bootimage theres trouble
with som usbsticks.
For example
First I zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sda (as from documentaion in the manual)
the image is in the built "superfloppy" 256MB size format. Then I copied
a debian.iso to the stick. It works fine with a 256MB and 1GB stick but
with a corsair 2GB it wont work. The reason is that iso-scan errors out.
When tracing backwards I found in iso-scan.postinst
At the line
DEVS="$(list-devices disk; list-devices partition)"
the reason it misses the 2GB stick (which is at /sys/block/sda) is that
udev thinks its a floppy.
udevinfo -q env -p /block/sda gives ID_TYPE=floppy
and udevinfo -q name -p /block/sda gives the name in devfs format, but
its a disk (dont remember exactly). So it misses a disk because of the
ID_TYPE, I added list-devices floppy in the line above and that makes it
work. But maybe the udev (d-i) should detect it as a disk ?
regards
Peter

This was fixed by Joey Hess in iso-scan with this comment:

| mis-detecting this as a floppy, but in the meantime I've added a hackish

Thanks for your excellent tracing of this issue.
