We can detect drive size. We just need to get the info, and do some math.
For example:
# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 64 heads, 63 sectors, 524 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4032 * 512 bytes

Once the drives are partitioned, it's easier.
# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2             986M  667M  269M  72% /
/dev/hda1              29M  4.7M   22M  18% /boot

Then, get rid of info we don't care about...
# df -h | grep -v Filesystem | cut -d M -f 1
/dev/hda2             986
/dev/hda1              29
