Hello, I am trying to install slink on a machine that is using a Promise Ultra33 as its primary IDE controller. Searching the mailing lists, I found that others were having the same trouble that I am having (HDDs detected as hde and hdf, no hde or hdf in /dev). In the article found at http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-user-9907/msg03119.html, Enrique Zanardi says that he will put a fixed boot floppy in the incoming directory. Is this new floppy available yet? I can't find it (or any 'incoming' directory, for that matter) anywhere on ftp.debian.org.
If this floppy is far from being available, what are the correct mknod commands to create the hde* and hdf* devices properly? There is no MAKEDEV script in /dev on the present rescue floppy. Thanks in advance for any help, - Carey
