Anyway, you don't need to add something to remind you
of the partition's position; /etc/mtab will use regular device names,
so you can see what's going on with 'cat /etc/mtab' or simply 'mount'

From memory I recall that this has always been the limit for SATA/SCSI drives.
For ATA drives I think it is 63?
Not sure if this is a Linux OS

What would be the recommended way of upgrading from the /dev/hd to /dev/sd

Question, if I were to label mine and then boot from a Gentoo or any

The labels are part of the file system; they're always there. For

Maybe there was some /dev/sda /dev/sdb or something similar?
