1 From the handbook:
2 To begin, we'll introduce block devices. The most famous block device is
3 probably the one that represents the first drive in a Linux system, namely
4 /dev/sda. SCSI and Serial ATA drives are both labeled /dev/sd*; even IDE
5 drives are labeled /dev/sd* with the new libata framework in the kernel. If
6 you're using the old device framework, then your first IDE drive is /dev/hda
7 .

9 But when I boot on Via Epia with my minimal installation CD 2008 I get my
10 IDE-disk as /dev/hda
11
12 Is the kernel on the minimal CD old ?
