Seems it doesn't handle the case of 'no media in drive' too well.
hdc - cdrom, hdd - zip drive, hdb - no device there.

hda2 is odd looking too showing a #blocks of '1', when
it's actually..

   Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda2           234     58168  29199240    5  Extended 


Oddly, on another machine, it detects an LS-120 drive with
no media correctly..
  22    64          0 hdd

(but still gets the 'no device' case wrong on that box).

        Dave.
