-.SH NAME
-hd \- MFM/IDE hard disk devices
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B hd*
-devices are block devices to access MFM/IDE hard disk drives
-in raw mode.
-The master drive on the primary IDE controller (major device
-number 3) is
-.BR hda ;
-the slave drive is
-.BR hdb .
-The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22)
-is
-.B hdc
-and the slave is
-.BR hdd .
-.P
-General IDE block device names have the form
-.BI hd X\c
-, or
-.BI hd XP\c
-, where
-.I X
-is a letter denoting the physical drive, and
-.I P
-is a number denoting the partition on that physical drive.
-The first form,
-.BI hd X\c
-, is used to address the whole drive.
-Partition numbers are assigned in the order the partitions
-are discovered, and only nonempty, nonextended partitions
-get a number.
-However, partition numbers 1\[en]4 are given to the
-four partitions described in the MBR (the "primary" partitions),
-regardless of whether they are unused or extended.
-Thus, the first logical partition will be
-.BI hd X 5\c
-\&.
-Both DOS-type partitioning and BSD-disklabel partitioning are supported.
-You can have at most 63 partitions on an IDE disk.
-.P
-For example,
-.I /dev/hda
-refers to all of the first IDE drive in the system; and
-.I /dev/hdb3
-refers to the third DOS "primary" partition on the second one.
-.P
-They are typically created by:
