The device files /dev/hd01, /dev/hd02, /dev/hd03, and /dev/hd04 can
be used to access the four absolute partitions on your first hard
disk.  There are also /dev/hd11, /dev/hd12, etc. for the second hard
disk as well.  See the hd(HW) manual entry for a description of all
the device files available to access the disks.
