i would bugzilla it  but the problem is that some use /dev/sda and 
others /dev/sda1  i think the newer and the biggerones tend to use /dev/sda  
though im not sure if that is entirely accurate.  i have three different USB 
disk keys and all use /dev/sda1  though i usually just put the entry 
is /etc/fstab  and leave it be
