I have an idea what to do with it.
If we don't find the device name (set to empty string), we can check 
device-tree/aliases/disk and device-tree/aliases/hd. There is disk or 
hd. I don't what is when. But in 100% cases which I try, one of them 
directs to the right device.
What do you think about it?
