Hi...
I'm in a little panic'd situation here and could really
use a little help.
I just took the plunge and installed this on my main
system. I have an AST board on it for communications, and after
recomiling the kernel, it is recognized.
Now, the problem. It is recognizing it as:
/dev/ttys8 -> /dev/ttys11
but there are no such devices :(
Now, I'm presuming that I have to mknod them then? I tried,
but seeing as I don't know much about mknod and major/minor numbers,
don't think I was successful :( What I tried was:
mknod /dev/ttys11 c 4 75
to access the port with the 16550 chip on it, to no avail.
I got the '75' from just counting up from where ttys3 leaves off.
If someone can help me with this, it would be muchly
appreciated...or even give me an indication of how to figure out the
minor number.
Thanks...
Marc
