Noted that makedev will create more harddisk partition device files
than you can actually use due to kernel limitations

16<para>
17The <quote>generic</quote> parameter passed to the MAKEDEV script
18doesn't create all the devices you might need, such as audio devices,
19hdc, hdd and ohters. If you seem to be missing something tell MAKEDEV to
20create it. To create hdc replace generic with hdc. You can also add hdc
21to generic, so you would execute <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic
22hdc</userinput> to create the generic set of devices files, plus the
23files you need to be able to access hdc (and hdc1, hdc2, etc)
24</para>
25
26<para>
27MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] and hdb[1-20] and such but keep in mind
28that you may not be able to use all of those devices due to kernel
29limitations regarding the max. number of partitions.
