Yes, /usr/sbin/hald is contained in hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386, as is the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/haldaemon script:
[root at bigdog ~]# rpm -ql hal-0.5.10-1.fc8
(some files...)
/etc/rc.d/init.d/haldaemon
(more files...)
/usr/sbin/hald
(more files...)
It should be running in run level 3 and 5, so as root:
# chkconfig --level 35 haldaemon on
to ensure it's enabled, then if you're in either run level 3 or 5:
# service haldaemon start
and it should be running.
