That should work if you have a IDE disk.  Otherwise, it will fail
because you aren't opening the SCSI device.  The SCSI device has a
different path than that.  Opening "C:" might work better for you,
since that's supposed to be an alias for the first disk drive.

Many Jazz based bioses have issues with accessing the raw device.
However, they can't be too bad or ARCINST.EXE wouldn't work.
