Heh. Back in the days before the earth cooled, Slackware used the
following hard drive devnames:
current: old slackware way:
/dev/hda /dev/hda
/dev/hdb /dev/hdb
/dev/hdc /dev/hd1a
/dev/hdd /dev/hd1b
Now, don't we want to avoid this kind of foolishness? Nothing against
slackware, and i realize that you can call the nodes whatever the heck you
want, but this was STUPID. :) I personally hate the Slowaris method of
naming disks. It is painful on the eyes, and i just make symlinks to the
nice linux names instead. :)
