This  C:\hds  is what I came up with, of course it needs improvement.

After booting Basic Linux,
one would
    mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
and then
    /mnt/hds ?

# C:\hds
#!/bin/bash
# first have to mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
mkdir /hd/c
mkdir /hd/d
mkdir /hd/e
mkdir /hd/f
mkdir /hd/g
#
mknod /dev/hdb5 b 3 69
mknod /dev/hdb6 b 3 70
mknod /dev/hdb7 b 3 71
#
umount /mnt
mount /dev/hda1 /hd/c
mount /dev/hda5 /hd/d
mount /dev/hdb5 /hd/e
mount /dev/hdb6 /hd/f
mount /dev/hdb7 /hd/g
