try taking a look at dmesg(8).   if your system hasn't clobbered the
boot message, something should be there that looks like:

scsi0 : BusLogic BT-958
scsi : 1 host.
  Vendor: FUJITSU   Model: MAN3184MP         Rev: 0107
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Detected scsi disk sda at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
  Vendor: FUJITSU   Model: MAN3184MP         Rev: 0107
  Type:   Direct-Access                      ANSI SCSI revision: 03
Detected scsi disk sdb at scsi0, channel 0, id 2, lun 0
  Vendor: TOSHIBA   Model: CD-ROM XM-6201TA  Rev: 1037
  Type:   CD-ROM                             ANSI SCSI revision: 02
Detected scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 3, lun 0
  Vendor: HP        Model: C1533A            Rev: A708
  Type:   Sequential-Access                  ANSI SCSI revision: 02

in this case you have sda, sdb, and sr0.

if dmesg is filled up with other stuff and the boot log is rotated out,
you can probably find it in a boot.log or syslog file somewhere in
/var
