| 21 | The <quote>generic</quote> parameter passed to the MAKEDEV script
|
|---|
| 22 | doesn't create all the devices a user might need, such as audio devices,
|
|---|
| 23 | hdc, hdd and others. If it seems something is missing MAKEDEV has to be told
|
|---|
| 24 | to create it. To create hdc replace generic with hdc. A user can also add hdc
|
|---|
| 25 | to generic, so he would execute <userinput>./MAKEDEV -v generic
|
|---|
| 26 | hdc</userinput> to create the generic set of devices files, plus the
|
|---|
| 27 | files he needs to be able to access hdc (and hdc1, hdc2, etc)

|

| 31 | MAKEDEV will create hda[1-20] and hdb[1-20] and such but he has to keep in mind
|
|---|
| 32 | that he may not be able to use all of those devices due to kernel
|
|---|
| 33 | limitations regarding the max. number of partitions.
