Probably you understood me perfectly well, but just to be sure:

# ls -l /dev/hde12
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 33, 12 Nov 8 20:48 /dev/hde12

Aha. Users are confronted with 12 (in the name: hde12) and 33,12
(in the ls output). Also the kernel itself (in the boot messages)
will call this partition hde12.

So, if there is some need to print major and minor somewhere,
a decimal version is to be preferred over a hexadecimal version.
