Always use the "raw" partition... for just about all the ports, that's
the "c" partition (e.g. /dev/rcd0c). The i386 port is special though;
its raw partition is "d".

See "sysctl kern.rawpartition" to determine the raw partition on your
machine... the "a" partition is number 0, so on i386, it'll be 3, and on
alpha, it'll be 2.
