You can make HAL refuse to mention fixed disks to anyone by adding

This is apparently a standard file in the upstream hal sources, but
fedora 8 decided for whatever reason to remove it.
I suggest a bug report; it's far easier to discover how to change the
behaviour if this file is present than if it's not.
