Genhdlist issue on RH 9

[Rebecca.R.Hepper at seagate.com]

Thanks for the suggestions.

genhdlist is evil :)   The easiest route for me was to boot a FC3 system,
mount the NFS dir and run my commands.  This worked great!

It was --fileorder in RH9 and think it still is in RHEL3.  Don't know
about product path,
but could download the SRPMS for the fedora one and the RH9 one, do a
diff between the two genhdlist.c files and come up with a patch.  I am
guessing the --productpath is pretty trivial to add back into a RH9
anaconda.
