>Description:
	When multiple disks are found, the following screen is presented:

       --
	On which disk do you want to install NetBSD?

	  Available disks
	  a: wd0
	  b: wd1
       --

	The menu item text should be extended to show locators and device
	identifiers, something like:

       --
	  Available disks
	  a: wd0 (977 MB, SanDisk SDCFB-1024, viaide0:0:0)
	  b: wd1 (232 GB, FUJITSU MHY2250BH, viaide0:0:1)

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	jmcneill

 Log Message:
 PR# install/41925: sysinst find_disks() should display more than just
 		   the device name

 Try ATA/SCSI identify commands and when successful, use the model information
 along with the disk size when creating the 'Available disks' menu.

 Instead of having a list of disks (wd0, wd1, sd0) the menu now looks like:

   Available disks

  >a: wd0 (977M, SanDisk SDCFB-1024)
   b: wd1 (233G, FUJITSU MHY2250BH)
   c: sd0 (246M, LEXAR JUMPDRIVE ELITE)
