Yeah, i suppose this should have gone, but the patch that got applied back
then is not the one i wrote and tested, but the one you or more probably 
Colin Watson adapted.

I suppose that the code should be rewritten to remove all devfs information, i
am not sure how to do this because i didn't look at the devfs-removal code,
and Colin was handling that.

Well, my old patch was supposed to check for the version of the pegasos
firmware, and then substract 1 for older firmwares for the disk number.

That said, please also apply the first hunk of the attached patch, which bumps
the check to 1.4, as my colegues released a 1.3 firmware from an older tree,
and i had to bump the version of the version with the correct disk numbering.

Yeah, sorry. Would still have worked though :)
