This is probably bogus. The 'c' partition is actually the 'a' partition (it has minor 0). This is certainly bogus. The wcd*) case is similar to the cd*|mcd*|scd*) and should be merged. The matcd*) case is not so similar. There is a second set of `l' (lockable) devices and the `c' partition is abused to provide a different interface (this will have to be changed when all disk drivers use the slice code. I haven't been able to remove the old disklabel support because beelyuns of cd drivers depend on it. The slice code doesn't do much for readonly disks, but it should save beelyuns of cd drivers from duplicating support for label ioctls). Bruce
