fstab doesn't give you the layout of a disk.. try fdisk,
but be careful: read the help and do not save any configurations
to the hard drive. e.g.
$ sudo fdisk /dev/hda
THEN TYPE m for help:
THE TYPE p to print the partition table
$ sudo sudo fdisk -l /dev/hda
if you are really lazy :)
(sudo is required: the disk can only be directly accessed as root)
