Quick question regarding the naming issue (and sorry for hijacking  
this thread).  My CentOS 4.5 desktop system has two SATA drives: the  
boot drive is /dev/hda1 and the second drive is /dev/sda1.  Is this  
the expected naming convention?  It really got me confused and this  
was partly the reason why I accidentally initialized my boot  
partition recently while trying to add the second drive.
