Hi-
I'm working on getting SCSI emulation going on my Gentoo installation.
I compiled my kernel using genkernel with SCSI emulation. I have added
the hdc=ide-scsi bit to the kernel line in grub.conf. I was about to
change /etc/fstab to point to /dev/scd0, but decide to check out /dev,
and there are no scd entries. Further research told me that I could add
them via the MAKEDEV command. In the man page for MAKEDEV, it says to
do the following:
cd /dev
./MAKEDEV (options) (device)
The problem I run in to is that MAKEDEV is in /sbin, not /dev, so I get
a not found error. Am I missing a sym link?
I will research further when I get home tonight, but it's giving me a
headache right now.
Thanks,
Terry
