Hello Linuxers,
I am trying to attach a DAT (or if this fails a regular scsi mt) to
Linux.
My configuration:
- Adaptec 1542C SCSI host adapter
- Linux SLS 1.01 ( Kernel 0.99pl8 )
- Intel i486 16Mb ram
- HP DAT or QIC mt
My problem:
When I boot, the system correctly identifies a DAT on
SCSI ID 5 and /dev/st0. Unfortunately I don't have an
entry /dev/st0, in fact I don't have any /dev/st*.
Since at boot time the kernel identifies the device, I guess
the code is there and I just have to do a mknod and/or a MAKEDEV
in the /dev directory.
Could someone please tell me exactly how to do it and what major/minor
numbers to use ? I sniffed around in /usr/src/linux but could not
find any pointers.
Thanks a lot,
Gerry
