I don't think so, but it's been a while since I looked at the code.  I
think it's:
	a is the first root partition at cluster 0
	b is the first swap
	c is the whole disk
	g is the first user (after 'a' since you might have one labelled
			     with both root and user flags)

After that, I think it fills in-order: d, e, f, h.  It would probably
make sense to skip the driver partitions if we can identify them.

Not always, I think, but I've only had limited exposure to wide.

sd: disk
st: tape
ss: scanner
se: scsi/ethernet (cabletron only as far as I know)
ch: tape (only?) changer--I don't know if this does CD-ROM changers, too.
uk: unknown
su: "special user SCSI device" (not written yet)
