Pretty much, so. Though an OS can also play a part, but I don't think
it does, in this case.
/dev/hdx is hardware dependent
/dev/sdx is software dependent (BIOS & OS are both software)
The rules for naming /dev/sdx devices are somewhat similar to the grub
hd business (counting available drives, where ever they're connected,
not caring much about where that actually is).

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
