    What's a quick (even dirty) way of finding out how many HDs a system 
has?  
----------------------------

Quick, and dirty...

fdisk -l | grep '^Disk ' | wc -l

This will fail to report correctly on systems with embedded hardware RAID controllers, also mis-counts on systems with software volume management.
