Thanks, Kenneth.

Looking at systat gave me enough to figure out what was needed. So much
so that I shamelessly borrowed its code and changed all of 5 lines. ;)

One question. If buildmatch is passed "da" as match_str, what devices
will I end up selecting? Just SCSI and IDE disk drives? I ask because I
don't really know what "Direct Access devices" does and doesn't include.

Thanks,
Sheldon.
