Great, I kind of made it. Not easy to find out how to check what paths

I think the most promising way would be a hook that modifies the contents of the
"disklist" variable. By default, its contents is determined by reading
/proc/partitions in FAI's disk-info script. If you add a hook
partition.DEFAULT.source that changes $disklist in an appropriate way I guess
you should readily get some reliable results.
For everyone interested, here is my solution:
Strangely enough I had the some problem several weeks ago. I also set
out to overwrite the disklist variable. My solution is a bit different
though.
I have an environment variable that can set the allowed disk types
(model vendor pair) for a class or a specific machine.
In the hook I use this information to construct the correct disk list.
I have attached the hook, in my CLASS.var file I have:
valid_disks[1]="PERC 6/i DELL"
valid_disks[2]="vbd"
