The primary drive on the first IDE channel is hda, the slave hdb, the
primary on the second channel hdc and so on.  Once you have worked out
which drive it is, you can find out which partition it is on by running

	fdisk /dev/hda

(or hdb or whatever) and listing the partition table.  Partitions on a
drive are numbered hdX1, hdX2 etc.
