Can't help you here, but I trust you can compare the aliases to the 
full device tree and figure out what you want.  If the drive has an 
activity light you can confirm your guess as to the device at least.

This is true if you have used the installboot program to wipe out the 
Apple partition map on the drive and install the bootxx program. 
This process doesn't work on new Mac's where a partition of 0 means 
the first understandable filesystem partition.  On older Mac's (like 
the 3400 I presume) partition 0 means load the boot blocks.
