Fedora FC2's hardware browser identifies my controller as an Intel
82801EB (ICH5) Serial ATA 150 Storage controller.

The sfdisk -l command when run as root returns:


Disk /dev/sda: 14589 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

Warning: start=63 - this looks like a partition rather than
the entire disk. Using fdisk on it is probably meaningless.
[Use the --force option if you really want this]

Why are the devices listed as sda and not hda?  Should I correct it and how? Is the warning a problem?

Thanks,
Richard
