I was thinking it should be "side", but I guess the "side" information is 
in the "head" parameter.  So does the "size" indicate whether it is 720K or 
1.4M?  If so, what do the numbers mean, as I have had errors where I 
thought the kernel was confused as to what it thought was in the drive 
after a disk swap.
