HD Install :: Finding HD device



I'd like to throw DSL on one of my new Dell pizza boxes.  From the Live CD command line, how can I determine which devices are available to build HD partitions on?  hda and sda did not work.

TIA, DT

Follow up:  I've thrown a SuSe 9.2 install cd in and let it do it's auto-recognize routine on the HD.  It shows up as /dev/sda.  I then booted DSL in mode 2 (character based) and attempted to run
Code Sample
cfdisk /dev/sda1
.  cfdisk is unable to open the drive.  Any idea why cfdisk  can't open the device?

/dev/sda1 is a partition.  You can't fdisk a partition.

Try "cfdisk /dev/sda"
