I should add that if ide-scsi is not loaded and you have something like
hdc=ide-scsi as a kernel param, then nothing will show up when you do
the above, you'll have to get ide-scsi going or remove the
hd(x)=ide-scsi option from lilo/grub or whatever you use.

You can check /proc/cmdline to see what your kernel params are, mine
says this:

auto BOOT_IMAGE=2.4.21 ro root=302 hdc=ide-scsi ide0=dma ide1=dma
