Hey, I would like for more people to try the feature that I added 
in the latest snapshot (20040710). 

It should let you do something like:

    <block_device index="0" path="\Device\HardDisk0\Partition5" 
    enabled="true" alias="hda1" />
    
And then go freely with /dev/hda1 without even creating the 
cobd nodes.
