OK for starters, a disclaimer:
I have nearly zero experience with Linux.
..but I would guess that it is naming the disk much like BSD does, with
hdb1...hdb4 being the four bios partitions (BSD slices) and hdb5 and up
being the logical DOS-style partitions inside the other "DOS extended
partition(s)". I believe Linux does make use of DOS "extended partitions"
in this way.
If this is true your RH /usr would be /dev/ad1s6, I think. The entry in
/dev might not yet exist, though.
