/dev/disk0
I guess it is something to do with partition? Or something? I'd like to know how to get a consistent ref name for a device because I have a script to automount it to a directory.
Thank you

If I'm understanding your question correctly, the first device node represents the device itself, where as the 0 (or 1, etc) represents the partitions on said device/media (SD card, USB, etc).
For example, if I had a device with 2 partitions on it, and it's got the device node
/dev/sda the
sda1 would be the first partition on said device/media, with
sda2 being the second partition.
The device node given to a device is (to my understanding anyway) decided by the order in which storage devices are "seen" by the kernel.
Hope this helps.
