Re: udev MAKEDEV



hey,
/dev is, as mentioned, created at boot time, if you're trying to run
lilo from a rescue disk you'll need to use something like
'sudo mount -o bind /dev/ /path/to/mounted/disk/dev'
Then chroot into /path/to/mounted/disk/ and then run lilo.

hope this helps,
cheers,
Owen.

udev will create these partitions on its own during boot.

And when I run lilo I get:
Fatal: Sorry, don't know how to handle device 0xfd00

Is this when trying to install lilo? From where are you trying to
install it?

you should be chroot'ing into the new system to install lilo...
