IIRC the four mbr partitions become 'e', 'f', 'g' and 'h'.  Any extended
paritions fill in from 'i' until they run out of the 16 partition limit
is reached.

I think CDs actuallg get 'a' == 'd' (the whole disk) because of the
absence of any other partitioning information.

An mbr disk with a single partition could have 'a' set to that partition,
which might be less confusing.
