I'm getting confused with the sda/hda naming conventions. I thought all SATA disks were sd devices. They were a while back but apparently, not anymore. And, I can't seem to make any sense of when an sda is an hda. I'm currently installing a system with a SATA system disk that has a IDE CDROM. A systemrescuecd (Gentoo based kernel) identifies the disk as an sda. But the 5.2 installer says it's an hda. There's a single IDE connector on the MB on which hangs a CDROM drive. Apparently, it's not an hda. What is it? An sda?
What gives?
