You can also have a look for disk names at the system profiler  
(apple>about this mac>More Information. Just click on hda register card  
and the names of your devices are shown under "BSD-Name:". In my case,  
ibook G3, harddisk is /dev/disk0 and cdrom /dev/disk1. Just tried it  
with Qemu and it works fine.
