We may want to slow down for a minute so that we do not screw up your system too much.
Are you running with devfs=mount or with devfs=nomount?
With =mount dev handles the loading of device modules, with =nomount the kernel
handles that task.
I was able to get my drive working with devfs=mount.
Does ls -l /dev/sda give any out put?
Are you planning to get 8.2.?
I am not trying to pass the buck, but devfs in 8.1 is pretty flaky but in 8.2 it does
the job as intended, though it was necessary for me to edit fstab and create an entry
for sda4, but the block device itself was created so it was not necessary to screw
around with MAKEDEV or mknod.
