I really like this idea, I have these removable SCSI disks that often get
carried around, you would not belive the trouble you get when you pop one
of those in a machine with disks already in it :< Linux isn't too bad, but
Os's like Dos and Os/2 usually have a fit.
I have used an Os that did the dev-fsys trick, it's very nice to only see
a handlefull of files in /dev instead of the bizzilion we have now. Less
confusing too, esp if disk naming is done.
