Well this explains a lot.  I was working under the assumption that the 
device partition assignment followed the same logical order as the device 
assignment.  This clears up a bit of advice Colin Wood gave me a while 
back when I was trying to mount my cdrom drive.  He advised me to mount 
/dev/cd0c.  I looked in /dev, saw there was a cd0a, and mounted that one 
instead.  Seems to work, but I think I will try cd0c and see what happens.

Thanks,

Sean.
