Arjan, The "/dev/ataraid/d0" is my short-form for all the devices in /dev/ataraid, e.g., /dev/ataraid/d0p0, /dev/ataraid/d0p1 etc. I wanted to verify the partitions before starting an install. Therefore, initially, I used: "fdisk -l" (all fdisk operations used the Linux fdisk) to get the partition information, just to verify what devices I would be then using. Then I can use fdisk -l <device> to do the final verification. However, I cannot install Linux until I see a Linux native partition (obvious). That is where I am stuck, hence my fdisk results and the dmesg results. Sorry for any confusion.
