You are correct in assuming what is being read.  The problem is, you
are reading the wrong thing.  If you want the disk icon, you should specify
Disk.info.  The .info file by itself only specifies where the workbench window
for that disk will come up (I think).  But I do know that the disk icon is
saved in Disk.info.  If the file does not exist, a default system icon is
used.
