OpenBSD:
/dev/wd0a
/dev/wd0b
...
Linux:
/dev/hda1
/dev/hda2

I don't see a whole lotta difference there, except that you
can also refer to them as
/dev/rwd0a
/dev/rwd0b
and they have a slightly different meaning.
It's like with /bin/sh, which is a copy of /bin/ksh. Calling them
by different names makes them bahave differently.
