Or how can I mount /dev/sda4?
I haven't followed the complete thread of the problem so if I'm way off base let me know. ----------------------------- man mknod. But you probably don't want to create this. Try making a link to the device that /dev/sda is pointing. Do a ls -l /dev/sda to get the full name of the device, then issue the proper command to make the link. man ln for the correct format. After creating the link try again to mount the device. If the entry in your /etc/fstab is correct and you have the mount point it should work.
