The same way it finds it on a double sided floppy. Side  is the same whether it has 1 side or 100. Disk Basic (HDB-DOS, SDC-DOS) reads Track 34, Sectors 1-18, Size 1 so it always gets that. SDC-DOS turns that in to sectors 0-XXX so at least for the first 35 tracks it's no problems. Does that make sense?
