[NTLUG:Discuss] Discovering new device names

I have a machine (Compaq/HP DL380 G3 probably - forgot to check) with a 
RAID controller (SmartArray 6400, six disks, RAID 5, no spare, one 
logical drive) which contains two NTFS partitions.  Booting Knoppix from 
CD, cciss module is loaded but no partitions are mounted.  From Googling 
it appears that this is the driver for the controller.

Question:

How do I determine which device names might be assigned to these two 
partitions (assuming the cciss module is correct and able to see the 
partitions on the RAID controller) so that I can mount them?  Any other 
troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.

Thanks for the help.
