5 IDE (or rather PATA now) devices on linux are named in order of the
6 channel then master/slave device, so:
7
8 hda: master on first PATA channel
9 hdb: slave on first PATA channel
10 hdc: master on second PATA channel
11 hdd: slave on second PATA channel
12 hde: master on third PATA channel
13 hdf: slave on third PATA channel
14 ...
15
16 So if it is slave on the primary channel, hdb4. If it is slave on the
17 secondary channel, hdd4.
