Unlike SCSI device nodes where the system allocates sda to the first 
drive found, sdb to the second found, and so forth, IDE device node 
assignments are fixed.  hda and hdb go to the first IDE controller, 
with hda being the master.  hdc (master) and hdd (slave) are for the 
second controller.  So on and so forth.

In Al's case, he has two built-in IDE busses on the B&W motherboard, 
and his disk is attached to a third IDE controller.  That controller 
therefore gets hde and hdf, regardless of what is or is not attached 
to other IDE busses.
