  ^^^^^^^^^  Did you partition it?  If not, this should be /dev/sda

These values are dump, and pass, respectively.  The dump value indicates
whether the filesystem information should be dumped.  The "pass" value
indicates to fsck the order in which the filesystems are checked.  On my
systems, this latter value is set to "1" for the root filesystem, and
"0" for the others.
