I'm afraid this can't be put into practice. (User says which hardware

Distribution installers and live CDs like Knoppix even manage to
magically assemble a suitable configuration (e.g. autodetecting which
modules they should load) without asking the user any questions.

Module autoloading is quite different.

but if boot scripts can figure out what modules to autoload, why can't scripts be written to figure out what drives to build into a system?
