The default zipl.conf for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3.0 AS is:

[defaultboot]                                     
default=linux                                     
target=/boot/                                     
[linux]                                           
        image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL           
        ramdisk=/boot/initrd-2.4.21-4.EL.img      
        parameters="root=LABEL=/"                 


And /etc/modules.conf is: 

alias eth0 qeth                  
options dasd_mod dasd=200-20F    


So fine, it appears that the range of DASD to use is now in modules.conf.  However 
when I try to use device 203 I get: 

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# dasdfmt -b 4096 -v -p -f /dev/dasdd    
dasdfmt -b 4096 -v -p -f /dev/dasdd                          
dasd: No device registered as (94:12)                        
dasdfmt: Unable to open device /dev/dasdd: No such device    
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]#                                        


Sure, I can issue this command to fix this: 

echo "add device range=203-204" >>/proc/dasd/devices


But how do I make the change permanent in RH EL 3.0 AS?
