For quite some time, the default behaviour of makedev when asked to create
an hda or sda device has been to create 16 partitions for the sd device, and
20 partitions for the hd device. The bug report in question claimed that the
base system was shipping with only 8 partitions for the hd devices, and so I
must assume that either the boot/base stuff was using an older makedev, or
that something unusual was being done to get such a short list of partitions.
