Hello,
My raw disk configuration used to work until all block devices were
pulled out in favor of character mode ones.
Knowing in advance that it was not a very brilliant solution, i tried
this
mknod hda c 116 0x00010002
in /usr/compat/linux/dev, to no avail.
Is there any way to get back a block device interface for the ata
driver, at least some kind of bridge in the linuxator ? (i guess Linux
kept its block devices ... am i wrong ?)
I'm not really a kernel hacker, but one could lead me to the right
direction ?
