Thanks for your other help.However, if you use devfs, you'll want to make sure you have a disk in at boot time so devfs makes the device nodes. I still cannot figure out how to make it make the device nodes later on (including hdparm -z, the whole block device doesn't exist, not just individual partitions).Would /usr/sbin/kudzu fix this???
Not running redhat, but it seems to be a kernel issue. The kernel sees the drive at startup (ATAPI floppy) but doesn't see a partition table or any media, so it makes no device node. This could probably be remedied by compiling ATAPI floppy support as a module and loading it when needed (after a disk has been inserted).
