Puppy Linux has wiped the HD and installed to /dev/sda3, but I can't

I couldn't mount '/dev/sda1' read-write!
Working on it
- Grant
ey, use 'fdisk -l' to be sure the hard disk
has been detected and assigned to /dev/sda. Use the following to wipe
the hard disk:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4096
3. Use 'fdisk /dev/sda' to partition your hard disk, and mke2fs to
create the filesystems. Puppy Linux also provides gparted for this.
4. Use the booted distro's installation routine to install to the hard disk.
4a. If installing Puppy Linux, be sure to mount your USB key and point
the installation routine to the files there when prompted.
Done, and thanks for everyone's help.
