[gentoo-dev] Missing /dev/xxx entries on _rc5

[gentoo-dev] Missing /dev/xxx entries on _rc5

[Collins Richey]

I didn't keep good enough notes when I put up _rc4.  The /dev directory does not have entries for PC sound and SCSI devices like sr0 (needed for IDE-SCSI support of CD-RW).

I don't see any version of makedev (I know, this is semi-obsolete), so what is the Gentoo way of setting up these /dev entries?

I'll add this back; it looks like someone forgot to re-enable them when adding
back the generic-i386 devices to baselayout.

MAKEDEV (all caps)

The supplied MAKEDEV apparently has nothing for /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 (ide CDROM devices, IDE-SCSI).

Use scd and /dev/scd0 instead.

OK, I did that, and I can mount CDs using /dev/scd0&1.  The question is:  is this the complete equivalent of /dev/sr0&1 (including using the device sr0 (a CDRW) for burning new cds?  Why does every other distro (that I am aware of) use sr0&1?

Hi Coolins,

we use devfs by default now, that's why there is only a basic set of
devices in /dev

Do you have any instructions for using devfs?  I could certainly do that too.

It's in the kernel source tree.  Look in the file systems sub directory 
of the documentation branch.
