Is there a way to tell what /dev names have been assigned to the devices?

Either at the log-in prompt log in as root, and then before doing anything else, use the shift/page-up and page-down keys to scroll through the boot messages or use dmesg. an axample of what you can see is: SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00 scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices Vendor: PIONEER Model: DVD-ROM DVD-104 Rev: 1.18 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Vendor: IDE-CD Model: R/RW 4x4x24 Rev: Z024 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Detected scsi CD-ROM sr1 at scsi0, channel 0, id 1, lun 0 sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 0x/0x cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.12 sr1: scsi3-mmc drive: 24x/24x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray HTH Terence
