How do I create device nodes for block devices?

No, I don't know what I just said. But the /dev/hda1 entry is gone (don't ask.) and I need it back.

You need to use mknod, however I'm not sure which minor/major numbers you need... Another possibility is to for example boot knoppix, and copy "hda" over to the slack partition.

also try running

Code:

udev

yep - I was going to suggest udev

but my major/minor numbers for /dev/hda1 are 3,1

I don't know how to use udev or mknod. And when I boot Knoppix, my slack partition is read-only =\

try

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.udev start

**peaceofpi** · 10-07-2005

Code:

root@slack&#58;/# /etc/rc.d/rc.udev start
root@slack&#58;/#
