The easiest way I know of is to look at the seabios logs. I don't
know of any concise open firmware naming document.
SeaBIOS is only expecting a handful of devices - you can see what it
expects by looking at src/boot.c. The examples there are:
// Find pci device - for example: /pci@i0cf8/ethernet@5
// Find scsi drive - for example: /pci@i0cf8/scsi@5/channel@0/disk@1,0
// Find ata drive - for example: /pci@i0cf8/ide@1,1/drive@1/disk@0
// Find floppy - for example: /pci@i0cf8/isa@1/fdc@03f1/floppy@0
// Find pci rom - for example: /pci@i0cf8/scsi@3:rom2
// Find named rom - for example: /rom@genroms/linuxboot.bin
// Find usb - for example: /pci@i0cf8/usb@1,2/storage@1/channel@0/disk@0,0
// Try usb-host/redir - for example: /pci@i0cf8/usb@1,2/usb-host@1
