Try: fdisk -l

try cfdisk, its more user friendly than fdisk.

yes its most probably /dev/sda

Before attempting to install slack on a scsi disk you must select a kernel that supports scsi. During boot from the install cd it will ask you if you want to load a particular kernel (with F2 if I remember well). Choose from the list adaptec.s if you have an adaptec scsi controler or the generic scsi.s kernel or whatever matches your controller. Then you can see /dev/sda and format it.
Good luck
