16h=22, so look in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt:
---------
 22 char        Digiboard serial card
                  0 = /dev/ttyD0        First Digiboard port
                  1 = /dev/ttyD1        Second Digiboard port
                    ...
    block       Second IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
                  0 = /dev/hdc          Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
                 64 = /dev/hdd          Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)

                Partitions are handled the same way as for the first
                interface (see major number 3).

That means 16:05 is /dev/hdc5.
