Correct me if I'm wrong, but hdc will only be relavent if you have a SCSI
based system won't it? If your system is IDE based, hda,hdb,hdc etc. will
be devices on the IDE controlers. If you have a SCSI card separatly, you
need to use something else (scr0? I don't know, I'v been trying to get
this to work for a while now...)
