Hi! The way setup_harddisks selects the harddrive for installation is not secure enough for us. sda can nowadays move around all over the place.
I'd like to add support to setup_harddisks to select the installation harddrive by serial-number. This can easily be done using udev and friends. If for some reason a FAI kernel manages to access the SAN and local disks are not found for some reason, FAI might end up formating some TB just because it thinks it's on sda... What format would be apropriate to activate this feature? I'd use something like: disk_config serial=4MR4PM9S in the disk_config file. I can test this on a large number of controllers, too (3ware doesn't seem to work right now, areca/qlogic do). Any suggestions are welcome!
