Hah! Turns out hda is, despite appearances, the designation for the IDE
drive:

root@ubuntumike:/home/mike# fdisk -l /dev/hda

Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40060403712 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

   Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 * 1 4777 38371221 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 4778 4870 747022+ 5 Extended
/dev/hda5 4778 4870 746991 82 Linux swap / Solaris

However, from there things get very strange:

root@ubuntumike:/home/mike# ls /dev/hda/boot/vmlinuz*
ls: /dev/hda/boot/vmlinuz*: Not a directory
root@ubuntumike:/home/mike# ls /dev/hda1/boot/vmlinuz*
ls: /dev/hda1/boot/vmlinuz*: Not a directory
root@ubuntumike:/home/mike# ls /dev/hda1/boot/
ls: /dev/hda1/boot/: Not a directory

What??
