I has the same problem, in my case its because the 2.4.19 kernel doesnt use the devices at /dev/dasdxxx, instead i have /dev/dasd/xxxx/, where xxxx is the address of the device, into the directory i have:
# ls /dev/dasd/0200/ device disc part1 "Device Drivers and Installation Commands" have more info about this.
