> A disk drive has a "device_type" of "block" not "disk".  See 1276 section 3.7 (Standard device types) and 3.7.2 ("block" devices).  Could you please fix this, trunk and branch (given it has already been checked into the branch :-( ).

> At present none of other hw_*.c files are doing like the above.  Instead they use a device tree (see attached) so your two line patch introduces a very fundamental change in the simulator's behavour.  However, yes, the current need to specify all the properties in a file is a pain and the code to start doing this is long overdue.

> Looking at the actual change, ..._init_address() appears to get the job done.  However, if you trace the code, the second and further init calls try to re-add the property to the tree (see how permenant_object is used) - fortunatly these are ignored.  Can you please create a bug-report documenting this problem.

I've checked in the attached.

HEAD and gdb_5_3-branch.
