Current version doesn't due to a subtle bug. But anyways, when we can get a list of disks, even with BIOS numbers in some cases, from kernel, why don't we? Current version doesn't try to do any guess, and open()s every disk to ensure that it exists, which is unnecessary, slow, and can even lead to crashes in case of faulty/strange hardware.
