Dear Mr. Bryen,
I am new to OpenSuSE 10.3, in facts, I new to all Linux too. When first
time installing OpenSuSE, some technical information may not be in my
concern, until discovering more reading on websites and forums than I
started to confuse about the device naming. But also being confused when
many website information are not specific version of SuSE. Also, because
I read this website (http://en.opensuse.org/NTFS) which also wrongly
stating /dev/hda1 for IDE and it is for SuSE 10.3
(see section "Installation of NTFS write support" > OpenSUSE 10.3 > For
Example > PATA (IDE) drive > /dev/hda1 .. . . . .) Please understand my
situation of unclear and please forgive my confusion, Thank you.

Isn't it /dev/sda is referring to SCSI harddisk ?
Betcha you didn't read the Release Notes during the installation. ;-)
Per the release notes, openSuse now tags all drives with s instead of h.
Why? I don't know, perhaps someone else can enlighten us. But
your /dev/sda is working as expected.
