Installation of MAKEDEV
Create the device files by running the following commands:
cd /dev &&
./MAKEDEV-temp -v generic &&
rm MAKEDEV-temp
The generic
parameter passed to the MAKEDEV script
doesn't create all the devices you might need, such as audio devices,
hdc, hdd and ohters. If you seem to be missing something tell MAKEDEV to
create it. To create hdc replace generic with hdc. You can also add hdc
to generic, so you would execute ./MAKEDEV -v generic
hdc to create the generic set of devices files, plus the
files you need to be able to access hdc (and hdc1, hdc2, etc)
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.
