steps/disk-*: change examples from hd to sd

Change the example commands from using hda to sda, since this is what
most new users will have as their hard disk devices.

You probably want a swap partition:

The reiser4 tools are provided on the ISO. However, the ISO kernel does not
yet support reiser4, so although you can create reiser4 filesystems and

Then mount any other partitions you made at the proper subdirectories.
You'll probably need to make directories for the other mount points first
(assuming you formatted the / partition). Make sure you mount / first.

This image ships with several popular programs for partitioning:

cfdisk is probably the most popular, a curses-based menu system:
- cfdisk /dev/hda
+ cfdisk /dev/sda

parted can resize partitions, but may be a tad confusing:
- parted /dev/hda
+ parted /dev/sda

Then for the purists there's plain line-based fdisk. Can be a bit hard to
use:
- fdisk /dev/hda
+ fdisk /dev/sda

The iso also ships with sfdisk, if you're insane enough to want to use
it.
