OK for starters, a disclaimer: I have nearly zero experience with Linux. ..but I would guess that it is naming the disk much like BSD does, with hdb1...hdb4 being the four bios partitions (BSD slices) and hdb5 and up being the logical DOS-style partitions inside the other "DOS extended partition(s)". I believe Linux does make use of DOS "extended partitions" in this way. If this is true your RH /usr would be /dev/ad1s6, I think. The entry in /dev might not yet exist, though.
