• Fix support for OBDR tapes on SCSI cards: in some cases the tape remains in OBDR mode (aka CDROM emulation) preventing the init script to work correctly. It now try to detect these cases, and to reset the SCSI device being of type CDROM (5) and looking like a tape drive as a model. (Not tested yet)
• Improve in consequence the OBDR specific README
• Adds support for the obdrmods boot parameter if some additional drivers should be removed
• adds rev to the minimal list of tools to have as this is now potentially required

 pre=/path/to/script
     Execute a pre-configuration script before calling mondorestore. Could be an NFS shared script e.g., or a script located in the initrd. Eg: pre=/tmp/isodir/my-pre.sh. Note that the script should be executable.
