Oops! Forgot the BIOS stuff.

BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS drive D: is disk2

an lsdev to loader gives the expected response:
<snip>
disk1: BIOS drive C:
    disk1s1a: FFS  64MB  (0 - 131072)
    disk1s1b: swap 128MB (131072-393216)
    disk1s1e: FFS 3904MB (393216 - 8388608)

Harry.
