The system uses it to identify its a damn shame that this is still the case. defeats / undermines the whole purpose of /dev/[as][d##][s#][a-z] /dev/[as][d##][s#] alone can represent entire BIOS partitions /dev/[as][d##] alone can represent entire disk Not sure why we still need a 'c' slice for legacy ?! -- Brian A.
