Ahh, I didn't commit this because it's not just IDE and SCSI disks that
have D_DISK set. CDROM's also have it set, as do md and vn devices and I
wasn't sure that they should be remapped in the same way as IDE and SCSI
disks, particularly the mapping of the major number to 0, which I wasn't
even sure was right for SCSI disks.

I think what is needed is a more generic solution, such as a table that
maps FreeBSD devices to Linux devices as appropriate.

Paul.
