don't the slots of card readers appear as sd* devices regardless of whether a card is actually inserted? Wouldn't that lead to problems with setups/in situations where no card is inserted? Isn't there some merit to being able to provide data for an installation (like passwords, keys etc. - things you don't want to publicly export via NFS) via SD-cards (or similar) without risking them being clobbered by an unexpected disk order (yes, I speak from experience)? In other words, I'd vote for making it optional with the default being the current behaviour (i.e. removable devices disregarded). Regards, Holger
