I suppose because I repartitioned and moved stuff
around a couple of times, things are a bit weird.

hda1 is the dapper install /
hda2 on my drive is an extended partition,
and the only thing in it is hda5, which is my swap.
hda3 is the feisty install.
I have no idea where hda4 is...
It doesn´t show up anywhere.
