Here is a list of sda in /dev

brw-rw----  1 root disk 8,  0 May  5  1998 sda
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8,  1 May  5  1998 sda1
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 10 May  5  1998 sda10
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 11 May  5  1998 sda11
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 12 May  5  1998 sda12
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 13 May  5  1998 sda13
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 14 May  5  1998 sda14
brw-rw----  1 root disk 8, 15 May  5  1998 sda15
