Can't give u minor-major numbers right now, but:
I had 2 IDE. disk0 was 270 megs bootable DOS with bootmanager
	     disk1 was 240 megs bootable BSD
everiything was working fine.
Then i got 1gig E-IDE and after only 24hrs of strugling i got:
	disk0 1gig with 2 partitions:
		1 - 400meg DOS with bootmanager
		2 - 600meg BSD
	disk2 270 megs bootable DOS with bootmanager
	disk3 240 megs bootable BSD
I am able to:
	boot DOS from part 1 disk0
	boot BSD from part 2 disk0
	mount part 1, disk0 on /DOS
	mount any BSD partitions from disk3
I am not able to boot from disk2 or 3.
