How many drives?

    What's a quick (even dirty) way of finding out how many HDs a system 
has?  Assuming that:

       a) Not all of them are actively used, so they wouldn't be in
          /etc/fstab (or visible in df)

       b) /var/log/dmesg isn't available for scanning

       c) /var/log/messages isn't available for scanning

       d) And access to the boxes is (somewhat) restricted - they're in 
racks, and I really don't feel like yanking each and every one)
