Smallest disk size incorrectly detected with -d #105

The smallest_hd() function in functions.sh sometimes incorrectly detects the size of the smallest disk when disks are specified manually with the -d option.

I experienced this when trying to install an image on a server with 2 x 2TB disks and 4 x 8 TB disks. I wanted to install the image on the 2 x 2 TB disks. However, the smallest disk was detected to be 8 TB, which caused installimage to suggest a partitioning scheme that didn't fit on the small disks.

I specified the two 2 TB disks with -d. That's stored in \$OPT_DRIVE${i} internally. But smallest_hd() uses \$DRIVE$i to detect disk sizes, which are the disks not overwritten by the -d option. And in my particular case, $DRIVE1 and $DRIVE2 both happened to be 8 TB disks.
