IDE disk devices

>Description:

    x lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x
    x x                          [ ] wd0  wd0                           x x
    x x                          [ ] ad0  ad0                           x x
    x mqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqj x

When sysinstall is rerun after install and used for any disk-related work,
IDE devices will appear twice, once for old-device names, once for new ones.

>How-To-Repeat:

o Install
o Rerun /stand/sysinstall
o Go do post-install Configuration, then Fdisk

>Fix:

Not known, but presumably involves toasting the old device entries which
are presumably there for compatibility?
