Maybe, but it only finds my zip drive if I have a disk in it when I boot.
Or am I missing something?

Hello,
How long are the compatibility names going to be necessary for devfsd? I

/dev/hda* devices to work on.
This leads to two questions - is there a
As long as nothing needs the names you can ditch them -
the rub is what needs the names G. For fstab you could
probably put the full device name in instead of /dev/hda
put /dev/.. However, if an app doesn't let you
specifiy a device but assumes somethng such as /dev/hdc

I can fix this with appending devfs=mount into the kernel options.
Actually, I can't. It's not working.

Well, we don't want the LiveCD stuff baked into the Gentoo source - or any

Either way, you also have to specify that devfs is run automatically at boot

I think there is already a bug report on this devfs problem.
