It's a royal pain in the backside to try and figure out if all the devices probed correctly. I've lost count of the times I've got most of the way through configuring an install and then discovered the ethernet card was on the wrong port and didn't get probed and then had to abandon it and start again. I'd love to be able to check probes etc before getting into a heavy custom install session.
