Device Parameter in Kickstart File

This is what I have found so far:

If you need a device parameter in your kickstart file, and you need more
than 1 module loaded, then separate them with a colon ":". Example:

device scsi aacraid:megaraid:aic7xxx

This should be documented somewhere, because I have searched for days
and found nothing that mentioned this. I had to dig thru the anaconda
source code to figure this out. Hopefully this post will help someone
else too.
