Yes, if the HDBDOS partition flag (bit 3 in IT.DNS) is set, things are
different than what we have discussed here.

That the SCSI target ID (is that what you mean by SCSI channel, which
technically is something different?) is set by bit 0-2 in IT.DNS and
not by IT.DRV may be something that came in the SuperDriver and was
different in the older direct SCSI drivers.
