A screen dump of my attempts at finding these disks, which all turn up
the same error:
Unable to open /dev/hd{whatever}
On my system, hda and hdb are hard drives, and hdc and hdd are my
CD-ROMs. I have a 5th storage device on the PCI-IDE Promise card which
has the hard disk which is useable on Windows but not Linux (yet).

I just get hda, hdb, and hdc, going by the major and minor numbers:
major minor #blocks name
22 0 439374 hdc
3 0 39088896 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
3 1 5863693 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
3 2 5124735 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
3 3 14056875 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
3 4 14040810 ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4
3 64 39088896 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/disc
3 65 20480008 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1
3 66 7168392 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2
3 67 7168392 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part3
3 68 4271904 ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part4
I don't know why /dev/hdd (the second CD-ROM) isn't listed there.
