Mark:

It seems a bit tricky right now, but there are a few commands that will
accomplish this for you:

hal-device              hal-find-by-property
hal-get-property
hal-find-by-capability  hal-set-property

pretty much you need to discover the uid of the device (partition) you
want displayed, by using one of the find-by programs or lshal if you
prefer) then run the hal-set-property --<uid --<key> --<bool>

IIRC the key is something akin to device-ignore which is default true

You will need to restart X (unfortunately) to make the device appear in
the Computer drawer and unfortunately (again) this will reset upon reboot.

Looks like for F7 this will change with a hal-device-manager (hopefully
this will be more permanent settings, but right now it is broken, so I
can't tell much about it.
