Oh?!!  Well, I've never actually used >1 root partition - that's what I've
got multiple spindles for!  :)

But I'm certain that if you only have one root partition on the disk, then the
user partitions are assigned g, e, f, h - on my machine that's /usr, /usr/src,
/home, and /usr/X11R6 (/var is on a different drive, and /tmp is 20MB mfs).

AFAIK, on wide SCSIs, the controller is ID #15.

Yep - unknown is "su" - so sue me for trying to introduce some sort of 
consistency!  :)
