Yes, that's a pretty accurate description of what happened, except that I'm running 8.2. To restore the links I ran "mknod disc b 3 0" in /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0 and similar commands for the partitions.
Then I linked them all back to /dev using "ln -s <path> hda1", etc. That didn't work, and here I am.

have you lost the link to the drive if you are using devfs?
i don't remember the earlier posts but if you have 9.2 and are using devfs then you will find that /dev/hda etc are symbolic links, i.e.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bascule]$ ls -l /dev/hda
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 32 Jan 9 12:13 /dev/hda -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bascule]$ ls -l /dev/hda1
lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 33 Jan 9 12:13 /dev/hda1 -> ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1

The hda is working fine. It's the master on a dual-boot system and has
the XP OS and most of my data on it. It shows up in BIOS during boot
just fine. The hardware also seems to be detected in dmesg, but no
drivers are available. And I just double checked the jumper and it's set
to 'master', not cable select.
