I certainly do not know why, but the bootdisk on the 2.1_r3 i386 CD does not come with /dev/hde (or any other IDE disk devices after that). MAKEDEV is also unavailable, so there is virtually no way to have the system installed like that. So what is the story about your new boot floppies? -- Chuan-kai Lin
