It's a SCSI raid controller, (cpqarray, to be specific), so it's actually
specified as:

/dev/ida/disc0/part1

Though sometimes it's refered to as

/dev/cciss/c0d0/part1
or
/dev/ida/c0d0/part1
or
/dev/cciss/disc0/part1

It seems to depend on a few different variables, which I don't completely
understand (to be honest).  It's REALLY confusing on install for example,
because when in my chrooted shell, I refer to it as /dev/ida/c0d0/part1 but
after the system reboots, it will forever after be referred to as
/dev/ida/disc0/part1.  Not sure exactly why.  I've always assumed different
versions of the driver.

/dev/sda1 refers to a normal SCSI disk, not in a RAID array.
