All the partitions on a given disk have related BSD device names, so if you
can work out the partition that holds /, you can find all the other devices
with related names.

Eg my box has / on /dev/disk0s5, so you'd look for everything with
/dev/disk0s*. I've only got one partition though :-)

I guess look at the df program to see how it gets the device names and
enumerates the mounted devices?

Cheers,

Chris
