I guess you have found an undocumented feature because it only talks
about one driver here without the : separation syntax.  This of course
would lead to trying several device lines.  At most anaconda may only be
expecting a scsi and a eth line.  Perhaps this was added after 9?  I'll
make a note of it for later.
