[pve-devel] [PATCH/RFC docs 3/3] cloud init: use 'import-from' disk syntax to avoid a step

[Fiona Ebner]

Put the 'scsihw' part into the previous command, so that the rather
complicated import command can stand on its own.

Not entirely sure about this one, because it does make the commands a
bit more involved.
