I've booted a 5.2.1 miniinstall CD and got to the point where I choose which 
disk to install onto.

My choices are
ad0
da0

Great. How do I know which disk is which? _I_ could work it out if the panel 
displayed information such as
Brand
Capacity

Note: DOS names would be worse than useless because I don't use DOS, and the 
BIOS doesn't detect all my drives.

The website doesn't help.

I'm not on any list. Please respond by
a) Fixing the web page
b) Mailing me the necessary info (eg the fixed page when it's done) in case I 
can't discover by other means which is which.
