Description
Running "./MAKEDEV -v generic-nopty" does not make all needed devices if there are more than 4 scsi drives, as only sd[a-d] are created (at least for me, my $LFS was on /dev/sdd). I discovered this while trying to mount another partition within the chroot environment It is/was easy enough explicitly add more, of course.
It would be nice to suggest checking scsi devices after MAKEDEV. The first time I built LFS I gave up after one boot attempt (lame, I know) when if I remember properly all my hard drives were not found (I had added extra partitions to fstab and now I suspect but cannot prove the real problem).
This bug is related to Bug# 131.

The make_devices that we talked about may be a much better way of going about device creation. The MAKEDEV-1.8 Bug #78 will deal with this. Marking as dupe of that one.
* This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 78 *
With the plan to eliminate MAKEDEV, I think this is pretty much useless at this point. I'm going to drop it to P-5 for now.
