I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with the problem, but can someone 
explain these hardcoded(?) numbers to me?  This is about the only thing 
in mayflower that I don't really understand-

(I.e. where can I go to find documentation on these sysfs types, so I 
can feel convinced that these lists of numbers (0,7,14,,4,5) are 
complete/correct)

echo "ACTION==\"add\", SUBSYSTEM==\"scsi_device\", 
SYSFS{type}==\"0|7|14\", RUN+
=\"/sbin/modprobe sd_mod\"" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/10-modprobe.rules
echo "ACTION==\"add\", SUBSYSTEM==\"scsi_device\", 
SYSFS{type}==\"[45]\", RUN+=\
"/sbin/modprobe sr_mod\"" >> /etc/udev/rules.d/10-modprobe.rules
