I'm trying to set up a second filesystem under 386BSD.  I've found about
16 different hard drive drivers (/dev/wd??) but have found nothing that
says which driver points to which partition, as seen in DOS FDISK.  
Ordinarily, I'd just experiment, but I have a number of DOS partitions
around that I don't want to mutilate in the process.  
Oh, by the way, the partition to be added is on a second hard disk, but
I have installed with the new bootable that supports second hard drives,
so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks for any help/pointers,
Paul
