I'm using Debian Woody with a 2.4.19 kernel. If it were really mountable 
as a SCSI device, would my kernel be telling me that it recognizes it as 
'hdd'? I thought entries under '/dev' which begin with 'h' means that 
the device is *not* a SCSI device. If it were a SCSI device, wouldn't I 
see some kind of entry like '/dev/sd*'? I don't have any SCSI hardware 
in my system.
