If your mass storage devices are like mine they will appear as a generic
scsi devices: /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc. In that case I think that there
are programs in the scsitools package to handle this.
I think scsidev from that package is what you are looking for:
scsidev - populate /dev/scsi with device names that are
persistent against SCSI configuration changes.
I haven't really used it that much but it seems to generate device nodes
in the /dev/scsi/ directory. I have:

sdh1-0c0i0l0 sdh1-0c0i0l0p1 sgh1-0c0i0l0
Hope that helps,
