I had learned with v3.3, and the previous v3.2, it all comes down to what dmesg says. If dmesg says sr#, then thats what you use, if it says scd#, then thats what you use. Unless you are working with DMA, in that case, you use the hdX...

From what I hear, v3.4 already sets "default" DMA active on all drives, which in previous versions, only the "main" root drive was set active to DMA, and all other drives were "default" DMA not active set.

I can't confirm this DMA setting, I am still running v3.3, but with v3.3, I had to add the hdparm to active set DMA in my bootmisc.sh, at the bottom of the file it had the hdparm for the "root" device already, and I just added for the rest of my other devices. I am going to have to check the DMA settings on v3.4 when I get it. ( I have a picky hard drive, backup data ext3 hard drive, that refuses to work with DMA set )

But, all in all, the HOWTO looks good, minor changes for the device names, but still is quite useful - for any version - I think
