So, you can boot with root=/dev/hda4 fine (should be able to, anyway). Is your disk SATA? If you want, you can use the PATA drivers that come with libata. Then you'll get /dev/sd* devices just like on Ubuntu. It all depends how you configure your kernel. I explained the CONFIG options needed in a recent thread. Maybe it's the other one that was mentioned.
