I've finally gotten around to actually rebooting a machine that can boot
from USB. The bug still exists in the daily build of 05-Nov-2007.
My opinion is that list-devices is at fault, not iso-scan.
The hack I've tried this time didn't seem to slow the installer down so
much, so I've included a patch just in case it's useful.
