I'd start by doing cat /proc/scsi/scsi.  You ought to see your drive listed.
For example:

Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 05 Lun: 00
  Vendor: IOMEGA   Model: ZIP 100          Rev: N*32
  Type:   Direct-Access                    ANSI SCSI revision: 02


Do you have other scsi disks?  If so, this will affect which device
(/dev/sd?) is associated with the drive.  Posting the output
from cat /proc/scsi/scsi is a good place to start.
