F7 uses a scsi type of software so sda = 1st HD sdb = 2nd and I'd bet
that sdc is the third.  CD / DVD (at least here) is  scd0 (I only have
the 1)

If you do an ls on /dev/disk you'll find 4 directories that will allow
you to find out which device is which or if you do an ls -l of cd* or
dvd* you should see where the links point to
