I'll put forward a possibly ignorant... Why?
If I have this:
/dev/sda Window98
/dev/sdb Linux
/dev/sdc raw
/dev/sdd raw
Why would this hurt anything? I can't see it bothering Win98,
unless it would try to mess with c and d or have trouble because
the partition table was missing or incomplete.
Would any other OS care that two drives were not obviously used?
