I have an ancient linux that I want to run on a modern linux host.

Run how? In a VM, through a VNC, networked to another machine?

mknod /dev/rp0 mjr,minor

For example. THat's an old device from the old unix days. PDP-11s I think.
Run dd into this device and mount it.

It's an old Caldera with a 2.2 kernel. I want to change the directory to
an iso image and mount some device to operate it. Does anyone know the
major and minor numbers of anything I need to create with mknod to mount
this linux on my RH linux host?

How about this... Run some server (ftp, ssh, whatever) on the Caldera box.
Connect with fuse. Mount the computer as a directory. Run a program like
k3b to convert it to a DVD image and save it on your RH box. If it doesn't
do what you want, at least it'll get you close.

I used mkisofs I found on a disk and made an iso.
