Hi,

Related SCSI installed topic.  Where are the drive dev nodes???
rc6-r9 iso boots ok on my AHA-2940UW system.  Fdisk and mkreiserfs can't 
find the drives.  When I look in /dev the only entries for the SCSI 
devices are:

/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/targetX/lun0 where X=0,1,5,6 for my 2 HD's and CD's.

Can't use these device entries to access the drives with fdisk or 
mkreiserfs.

I seem to remember on rc5 that there was a /dev/disk/... set of nodes 
what had the partitions.

Is there anyway to create these nodes in the iso image shell?

thanks,
