No, unfortunately, it gives no indication of /dev/sd...

And, actually, this is part of the problem: I have an ext2 file system on
the
disk with a single partition 1, not 4 as you suggest above (4 seems to
indicate a dos file system?) but did not know that and a program was
failing. I was hoping to be able to determine programmatically, without
parsing dmesg, which will be considerably more complex due to the
more general natrure of its content.
Thanks, nonetheless, for your help and confirmation of my suspicion.
