    That's cool -- you're having exactly the same problem I was. hda1
    doesn't mount because after udev gets through setting up /dev, hda no
    longer exists.

    I fixed it here by disabling udev -- it isn't at all necessary. I did
    that by editing /etc/init.c/udev and adding the line "return" (should
    have been "exit 0") at the top of the script (to verify that it was
    indeed udev with the problem), then disabling it as a boot script.

    Just type "dmesg" -- it's all in there.

    I was seeing lots of "discussion" of ide and hda scroll by; then it
    didn't exist in /dev or in /sys after the system was up.

    I never did figure out what was happening. If you do, I'd like to hear
    about it. And so would the udev maintainers, I suspect. I'm betting that
    nobody booting from SCSI and with an hda ever tested it.
