No, no, NOOOO! The second drive on the first IDE controller is /dev/hdb!
First drive on second controller would be /dev/hdc, second drive on second
controller /dev/hdd. The schema is as follows:

 hd   [a...n] [1...n]

 |     *------ Device/Controller (in pairs, a/b for the first, c/d for the 
 |             second etc. controller).

 *----- Type of device: hd for IDE, sd for SCSI etc.
