IDE (or rather PATA now) devices on linux are named in order of the
channel then master/slave device, so:

hda: master on first PATA channel
hdb: slave on first PATA  channel
[...]

I seem to have mucked things up a tad by formatting hda so that I
can't boot windows at the moment.

I'm thinking about how to edit grub.conf at the moment...
