device names



After a new lenny installation on a new motherboard, my PATA drive came up as 'sdb'.  I expected hda.  I don't really care, but it does lead me to wonder how these names get doled out by the system.  Can someone explain, or refer me to a good explanation, of how hardware is discovered and named.
