Wait, can you more clearly explain what you're trying to do?
OS X doesn't use drive letters.
You can open Terminal, and type cd /Volumes, then type ls, (without the commas, obviously), to see the drives in your system. The boot partition is, obviously, mounted as /
Here's a screenshot.

In the above screenshot, "John" is a CD-ROM.

Yes, in UNIX, hard drives and other devices are trated as if they are files, listed in different parts of the directory.
