Taken from /usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt:

 3 char        Pseudo-TTY slaves
                  0 = /dev/ttyp0        First PTY slave
                  1 = /dev/ttyp1        Second PTY slave
                    ...
                255 = /dev/ttyef        256th PTY slave

                These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
                devices are on major 136 and above.

    block       First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
                  0 = /dev/hda          Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)
                 64 = /dev/hdb          Slave: whole disk (or CD-ROM)

                For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:
                  0 = /dev/hd?          Whole disk
                  1 = /dev/hd?1         First partition
                  2 = /dev/hd?2         Second partition
                    ...
                 63 = /dev/hd?63        63rd partition

                For Linux/i386, partitions 1-4 are the primary
                partitions, and 5 and above are logical partitions.
                Other versions of Linux use partitioning schemes
                appropriate to their respective architectures.

It seems to be /dev/hd*.  Do you not have one?  All SCSI system?

Just a thought.
