22 | <para>
|

23 | The <quote>generic</quote> parameter passed to the MAKEDEV script
|
---|
24 | doesn't create all the devices a user might need, such as audio devices,
|
---|
25 | hdc, hdd and others. If it seems something is missing MAKEDEV has to be told
|
---|
26 | to create it. To create hdc replace generic with hdc. A user can also add hdc
|
---|
27 | to generic, so he would execute <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic
|
---|
28 | hdc</userinput> to create the generic set of devices files, plus the
|
---|
29 | files he needs to be able to access hdc (and hdc1, hdc2, etc)
|
---|
30 | </para>
|
---|
31 |
|
---|
32 | <para>
|
---|
33 | MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] and hdb[1-20] and such but he has to keep in mind
|
---|
34 | that he may not be able to use all of those devices due to kernel
|
---|
35 | limitations regarding the max. number of partitions.
