Actually, I'd put this down to somehting else: Most USB "drives" are
recognized as SCSI drives under Linux, at least as far as I've seen them
till now. E.g. my USB stick gets assigned "sda", which is the first SCSI
drive. I never bothered to investigate the background, but I seem to
remember that there is some SCSI-emulation layer involved for some
reason. So, having the system look for "something SCSI" in this
situation is not quite as strange as it might seem... :-)
Cheerio,
