03 is the major number and 01 is the minor number, i checked it on my pc
and it is the same as /dev/hda1

i suggest that you delete the hda1 partition and make a new one, dont change the file

after that do a mke2fs -j /dev/hda1 and you're good to go.

do you try to mount hda1 as a fat filesystem perhaps?
