What does this output mean? I'm a little more worried about this one!:D

[root at bob ~]# sfdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 19590 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track
Warning: The partition table looks like it was made
  for C/H/S=*/255/63 (instead of 19590/16/63).
For this listing I'll assume that geometry.
Units = cylinders of 8225280 bytes, blocks of 1024 bytes, counting from 0

   Device Boot Start     End   #cyls    #blocks   Id  System

Disk /dev/hdb1: 238216 cylinders, 16 heads, 63 sectors/track

What does that little lot mean please?

You are looking at the character device that is sitting on the dynamic
/dev filesystem. That is the correct output to get but. Your disks would
be mounted under /, /tmp, /var, and /usr or what you selected at
install. just do a 'df -k' and you will see them.
