You can use whatever partition number you like.
You will need more than one partition, since arenas
and data are kept separate.  Alternately, because
disk partitioning is such a pain, the Unix venti
supports an alternate syntax filename:lo-hi,
which selects a subpartition of the named file.
So /dev/hda:0-10G is the first 10 gigabytes of /dev/hda.
