Pname will do the job for you. That partition exists so that people with
larger 80 meg disks can take advantage of the extra space. You will need to
use dp to extend the partition size a lot if you want to use it for the
whole of the rest of your 160 Meg disk.

Larger 80 Meg disks? Apple decided on a minimum acceptable size of an
"80 Megabyte disk" and will use any disk that provides at least that much
space, buying from different suppliers at different times. The older HD80SC
external disks don't have as many physical sectors as the newer Quantum
internal 80 meg drives, for example.
