Just a small question if I may? I have always wondered this, even back in the day when I first had my Amiga A1200, but I didnt have internet or the wonderful EAB in those days to ask the question!

when you format a hard drive in WB with 2 or more partitions, DH0 always has a nice icon that kind of looks like a hard drive. however DH1, DH2 etc will not have this icon, for some kind of paranormal reason that I have never understood, Workbench puts a floppy disk icon for the other partitions.

For the love of god WHY? Was it a bug? by design? Or some technical reason that I never knew about? I know it's not a big issue as it's easy to change, I'm just curious why this happens.
