Again: /dev/sda is a disk, whereas /dev/sda1 is a partition.  They are both  
files because basically everything is a file in GNU/Linux, even a disk or a  
partition.  When the installer says the bootloader will be installed on  
/dev/sda, it actually means in /dev/sda's MBR (Master Boot Record): half a  
kilobyte at the beginning of the disk, before any partition.

Please define now a partition for /home.  Not that it is impossible to do so  
later (editing /etc/fstab)... but, well, it is the same situation as for the  
installation of the bootloader: it will be faster to ask you to reinstall  
than to explain fstab's format (type 'man fstab' in a terminal if you really  
want to know).
