Or hda3 in this case.  There can be one extended partition, usually #4,  
Bob Alexander (if the quoting is correct) could add a 4th primary 
partition (if there were room).  I have four primary partitions on my 
Thinkpad's hard drive.

That is more conventional.  hda2 and hda3 do not exist; they could, if 
hda4 did not take up all the room.

Where does the "bootable" flag matter?

An ASCII character walks into a bar and orders a double. "Having a bad day?"
asks the barman. "Yeah, I have a parity error," replies the ASCII character.
The barman says, "Yeah, I thought you looked a bit off." -- Skud
