The ordering of drives in your device.map is something worth remembering 
if you ever reinstall Linux on this box (or any other box with a mixture 
of IDE and other drives, e.g. SCSI disks). You can specify the order 
using the "advanced boot loader options" (I think) during installation. 
The order should match the order in which your BIOS "sees" your drives. 
I've had to do this for an old mixed IDE/SCSI system I have, which boots 
from the SCSI drives rather than the IDE drive that I added later.
