I did a "fdisk -l" on my Classic, and it came up with this:

Note: sector size is 4096 (not 512)

Disk /dev/sda: 159.8 GB, 159840301056 bytes
26 heads, 50 sectors/track, 30018 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1300 * 4096 = 5324800 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x20202020

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1               1       30019   156093788    b  W95 FAT32

Could somebody please tell me what this actually means?

It means you've mounted it's hard disk in UMS mode.

zajacattack:
So, I realize the firmware encryption is a huge problem.

Is the firmware for these versions stored in a separate (perhaps hidden?) partition like the earlier iPods and the Sansas?

boxerorange:
My guess would be that from my "fdisk -l"...scan(?) there's only one partition on my Classic.

No, it means that only one partition is exposed.  If you could open your iPod and connect the disk to a native controller you might get a different result (or you might not).
