This one is not true on my system.

If something in my initrd fails it launches  busybox then I can run
fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions and they return nothing.  Whats more
intresting at the system start I can see:

Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: QEMU HARDDISK, ATA DISK drive
hdb: QEMU HARDDISK, ATA DISK drive
hda: host max PIO4 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO2
hda: MWDMA2 mode selected
hdb: host max PIO4 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO2
hdb: MWDMA2 mode selected
Probing IDE interface ide1...

ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
ide-cd driver 5.00

but later disks disappear. Full log in earlier mail
