 Provides much less control than -drive's HOST-OPTS...  The new way
 fixes that:

+The removable parameter gives control over the SCSI INQUIRY removable (RMB)

+removable=off.  See the if=scsi description above for details on the removable
+parameter, which applies only to scsi-disk devices and not to scsi-generic.
