Description

I tried to install OI hipster into a KVM (under smartos), but the list of available devices was incomplete.

11:37 < alp> pfexec  /tmp/diskinfo
11:37 < alp> TYPE    DISK                    VID      PID              SIZE          RMV SSD
11:37 < alp> -       c3t0d0                  Virtio   Block Device      100.00 GiB   no  no

Some clarifications concerning this bug.
Both installer and diskinfo use libdiskmgmt to look up disk devices

ddm_drive_desc =dm_get_descriptors(DM_DRIVE, NULL, &errn);
...

And both omit c2t0d0 from output:

This happens to me when I add two VirtIO block devices in QEMU without serial numbers. QEMU won't generate them on their own. `ptrconf` won't generate any `inquiry-serial-no` property. With AnySerialNumber per device it works fine.
