Given the above I was clear I was missing some infomation, so I did some
hunting and found the following in ifs.inf:

Device drivers and FSDs are loaded in the order they appear in CONFIG.SYS
and are considered elements of the same ordered set. Therefore, both
device drivers and FSDs may be loaded from installed file systems as long
as they are started in the proper order. For example:

DEVICE = c:\diskdriv.sys
REM Block device D: is now defined. (diskdriv.sys controls this.)
IFS = c:\fsd\newfsl.fsd
REM If we assume that D: contains a fixed newfsl type partition,
REM then we're now ready to use D: to load the device driver and
REM FSD for E:.
DEVICE = d:\root\dev\special.dev
REM Block device e: is now defined.
IFS = d:\root\fsd\special.fsd
REM E: can now be read.
DEVICE = e:\music

Consider my notes updated.
