I am running OS 10.2.6 on a 350 MHz slot-loading iMac with a number of partitions and a new Maxtor 200 GB external drive. I have noticed recently that when I do a listing of my volumes in Terminal, the Maxtor drive is duplicated. I have tried to exorcise one of them without success, and I don't quite understand what is going on. Following is my Terminal data:

As you see, I have both Maxtor200 and Maxtor200 1 drives shown, but when I tried to remove Maxtor200 I get a lot of gobbledegook (at least to me). I also don't understand why I have a "Netscape 6 for MacOS X" and a "Mac OS X 10.1.4 Update" listed among my "Volumes" (even though they do not appear on my Desktop).
Can anyone tell me what's going on here, what i am doing wrong, and what I can do about it.
Many thanks
