Drives are named by their type and boot order. Floppy drives are named /dev/fd0 (what you would call A: in DOS/Windows), /dev/fd1 (B:), and so on.
Hard drives can follow the convention /dev/hd
CD-ROM drives are usually named /dev/cdrom0, /dev/cdrom1, and so on. If the drive is also capable of playing DVDs, a separate character device, /dev/dvd#, can also be created to point to the same device.

How many hard drives can Linux handle?
