cannot open hda

Post by rickybond »

trying to install a native install of gentoox pro(would like media) acordding to the sticky. I get to the point of running fdisk and I get the message "Unable to open hda"
then I type fdisk -l and get this
"Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 60.0 GB, 60040544256 bytes
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 116336 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 * 512 = 516096 bytes"

so it sees my drive and it is at location 0. so it should be hda.
any ideas what I am doing wrong.
thanks

why does gentoox and the live cd, find my hdd as disc0 or lun0(respectfully) and not as hda.
