:As about the serial number, many USB sticks produced in China do not
:have a valid one (something like all zero)

Most of the sticks do not appear to support the serial number
inquiry page. I get nothing when I plug them in.
I have verified that a real external hard drive connected via USB
does probe the serial number.
In anycase, I shifted all the usb attachments to da8 and greater
so it shouldn't create any confusion if the system has less then 9
real HDs.
