Note: the MAKEDEV.bz2 file you have unpacked is not an archive, so it
|
|
won't create a directory for you to cd into.

Create the device files by running the following commands:

|
|
|
|
<blockquote><literallayout>
|
|
<userinput>cp MAKEDEV-1.1 /dev/MAKEDEV &&
|
|
</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>cd /dev &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>chmod 755 MAKEDEV &&</userinput>
|
|
<userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic</userinput>

MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] and hdb[1-20] and such but keep in mind
|
|
that you may not be able to use all of those devices due to kernel
|
|
limitations regarding the max. number of partitions.
