Ah, but that's wrong then as well: IDE disks have a _fixed_ assignment
to hardware slots on the various buses.
/dev/hda is always master on first bus, hdb is salve on first bus, hdc
is master on second bus (AKA second channel), and hdd slave on second
bus.
So, if the kernel sees your primary ATA/100 bus, the master on the
second bus will be /dev/hdc.
