try /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda.
zero-fill the hard drive, & clear the mbr w/ seagate disk wizard, and then try again. hdd also should be diagnosed to be certain it's ok. zero-fill/ nuking the hdd should help out. cleaning up the mbr is important as well.
when you go into cfdisk, you should create a type 83 partition for linux, and a type 82 volume for the swap file space. just sutract 100mb or so for the swapfile space from the total hdd volume, create the type 83 volume partition (type 83 is default), select down arrow, and select type, select type 82, and then select <b>write</b> to write the partitions to disk. then it's a matter of formatting the primary as /dev/hda1, and the swap as /dev/hda2. after the partitions are formatted, then do the dsl-hdinstall command, and when completed perform the mkliloboot command. i found that the commands worked better w/ o the "./" (if the dsl-hdinstall notes still show the commands as ./mkliloboot, and ./dsl-hdinstall- it was my experience that the commands worked as dsl-hdinstall, and mkliloboot).
btw, from my experience so far (dsl .4.10- or earlier version, i forget which one), hard drive install needed some improvement.
