If you can wait until *after* the system has booted, there are lots of
ways to derive what is out there.  Grab the sources for "hdparm" and
have a look at it for examples of hardcore access methods.

A simple way to derive some information can be found by walking the
sysfs hierarchy.

Here's a dirt-simple script I use that somewhat-pretty-prints items
hanging off busses in the sysfs hierarchy.  Sysfs must be mounted for
the script to work.

Sample output:
% lsbus
