I believe you should be able to boot Ubuntu off the disk you have. WRT figuring out devices, to be honest, I generally take a look in the dev folder and look at for the sd* and hd* drives. I usually end up checking before I add the target drive and then again after I've added the target so I know what that particular machine is up to in terms of its device allocations. I haven't come across a tool like the one you are asking about but it occurs to me that the disk management tools in the Ubuntu System menu should be able to give you a good idea about the devices you'll need for the command line.
