Someone sent this email a little bit before you sent yours, maybe this is

this wouldn't be a problem, except the base system that I pulled down
(base-2_2.tgz from 2.2.13-2000-05-04) is completely missing
/dev/hdc* and hdd. I thought it was funny that it had hda, hdb, and
hde, f, g and h, but no c or d.
So who gets the bug report? base, base-files, base-config, or what?
I got around it by booting off the installer ramdisk again, jumping
to a shell, and then
mount /dev/hdc8 /target
chroot /target /bin/bash (didn't know if this was necessary for the
MAKEDEV script, but figured what the hell)
MAKEDEV hdc
and I rebooted back into linux again. No probs, and am finishing the
rest of the install.
