I will take a look at this this weekend.  Looks like a simple fix to
Do_ScsiId() in interface.c to do the "right thing" based on actually
looking at the device type returned in the buffer from inquiry().

I also have a functional batch selection dialog for the installer that
should be ready for public consumption in a week or two.  I am looking at
the other requests from the "Installer wish list" of a month or so ago.
If you have pet peeves with the installer, let me know and I might(or might
not) get around to looking at them, as time and equipment permits.

I have not looked at rolling the newfs/makefs functionality in as I would
be testing it with the mini-shell since scsi still doesn't work on the Q610
which is my sole system.  Most of the changes I have looked at are
MacOS-type interface changes which should work on any System 7 and above
mac(sorry, no system 6 machine to test with).  The things which I plan on
having ready are the aforementioned batch selection, command key shortcuts,
as well as bug fixes for things like this cd/sd confusion.

Allen,
Let me know if anyone else is signed up as working on the installer so I can
coordinate changes as needed.
