Not sure why it wants to check those two, but if you have a "typical"
modern PC system, you don't want to limit it to hda; you want hdc as
well, which will be your CD-ROM drive.
You could presumably just
rm /dev/hdb* /dev/hdd*
if you wanted a crude approach to short-circuiting the bogus drive
checks. You'd still get an error, presumably, but it ought to be a
much faster error.
