This says that your partition is 3 but not 0.
This is a known issue in UnixWare. Probably those who created UnixWare were
crazy, so they decided to count partitions from the last entry to the first.
Therefore, if you make a partition 0, it becomes 3 when you use other
operating systems. Likewise, if you make a partition 3 on UnixWare, it
becomes 0 on others.
In short, your partition is (hd1,3) instead of (hd1,0). Please complaint about
this stupid thing to UnixWare.
