I am nowhere near up to speed on this myself, but, some utilities require the
old dev/names (not just scd). What I do is extract a tarball via rc.local
with my 'extras' in it.
This doesn't sit comfortably with me, but is a recommended method, per the
devfs howto.
Incidentally, following on from David's lead, you *probably* need to
modprobe sd_mod
modprobe sr_mod (/etc/modules/eg)
before defvs will create the full and complete entries. In the case of
scsi_mod, the base scsi driver, it sniffs the scsi interface and as a
secondary duty builds items you listed above, depending on what it 'finds'. I
haven't tested this myself, but suspect that sr_mod will create /dev/sr?
entries (for instance).
any feedback you have is appreciated. devfs is something we are going to have
to come to terms with, the old /dev is dead in the water.
