-Linux disks and partition names may be different from other operating
-systems. You need to know the names that Linux uses when you create
-and mount partitions. Here's the basic naming scheme:

-The partitions on each disk are represented by appending a decimal
-number to the disk name: <filename>sda1</filename> and
-<filename>sda2</filename> represent the first and

-Here is a real-life example. Let's assume you have a system with 2
-SCSI disks, one at SCSI address 2 and the other at SCSI address 4.
-The first disk (at address 2) is then named <filename>sda</filename>,
-and the second <filename>sdb</filename>. If the
-<filename>sda</filename> drive has 3 partitions on it, these will be
-named <filename>sda1</filename>, <filename>sda2</filename>, and
-<filename>sda3</filename>. The same applies to the
-<filename>sdb</filename> disk and its partitions.

-Note that if you have two SCSI host bus adapters (i.e., controllers),
-the order of the drives can get confusing. The best solution in this
-case is to watch the boot messages, assuming you know the drive models
-and/or capacities.

-Linux represents the primary partitions as the drive name, plus the
-numbers 1 through 4. For example, the first primary partition on the
-first IDE drive is <filename>/dev/hda1</filename>. The logical partitions are
-numbered starting at 5, so the first logical partition on that same
-drive is <filename>/dev/hda5</filename>. Remember that the extended
-partition, that is, the primary partition holding the logical
-partitions, is not usable by itself. This applies to SCSI disks as
-well as IDE disks.

-Sun disk partitions allow for 8 separate partitions (or slices). The
-third partition is usually (and is preferred to have) the <quote>Whole
-Disk</quote> partition. This partition references all of the sectors of the
-disk, and is used by the boot loader (either SILO, or Sun's).
