I've never myself done anything w/ SCSI drives (other than ide-scsi
emulation for CD-Writing pre kernel 2.6), but I thought SCSI harddrives
were usually /dev/sd?, while IDE drives were /dev/hd?.
>From /usr/src/linux-2.6.7/Documentation/devices.txt:
8 block SCSI disk devices (0-15)
0 = /dev/sda First SCSI disk whole disk
16 = /dev/sdb Second SCSI disk whole disk
32 = /dev/sdc Third SCSI disk whole disk
...
240 = /dev/sdp Sixteenth SCSI disk whole disk
Partitions are handled in the same way as for IDE
disks (see major number 3) except that the limit on
partitions is 15.
Good luck,
