Hi Joe, you may find pdisk for OS 9 to be useful. It will allow you to view your drive & partitions and see what device names are assigned to each partition.
I found a post of mine way back when I first tried out YDL 2.1 (did a Google search for pdisk for os 9): http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/pipermail/yellowdog-newbie/2002-June/000321.html In that e-mail you will find a link to pdisk.
