Because it was set up that way 8 years ago. /dev/hda is the only IDE
drive in the system, and has the MBR, so I can't make /dev/hda an LVM
volume, it has to be /dev/hda1. I don't want to make some other drive
the boot drive; they are LVM volumes also. And I also want an hd(0,x)
for grub which doesn't change as I add new drives.
Besides all that, why do you think it's a problem and how do you
propose fixing it?
