KS won't partition drives

[Blair Lowe]

Hi,

Shouldn't that be

mknod /dev/hda b 3 0

mknod /dev/hdb b 3 1

How do the name and type values relate to the disk being used?

Even if I do that, I get a "hdb is neither a scsi or ide drive" message.

AND I still get an "unable to open hda" "unable to open hdb" on alt-f3.

Thanks,
Blair.
