Although these will work, I have found that for purposes of simplicity,
and maximizing the ability to boot a given disk on multiple 
configurations, it is best to use the lower DU unit numbers for physical
drives, and the higher ones for logical mappings.

So, for example, I would have
SET DU0 UNIT=0 PART=0
SET DU1 UNIT=1 PART=0
SET DU2 UNIT=2 PART=0
SET DU3 UNIT=3 PART=0
SET DU4 UNIT=0 PART=1
SET DU5 UNIT=0 PART=2

(when you use the 64-unit version of the driver, you're on your own...:-)
