That's /dev/hdd4 I think. And I really should have kept my mouth, because
I wasn't able to verify exactly how I done it (with a secondary master
though). And you don't really need to create a partition. I think mount
will joyfully find that hdd4 is already/only available (I remember what
was the explanation for SCSI ZIP drives, but not for IDE). Once again, I'm
not sure. The guy on which's machine I installed that ZIP IDE has managed
to fsck up his tcpd and now I can't telnet on his box anymore. No time to
repair all stupidity triggered breakdowns, too :-(
