Creating /dev/mapper/control character device with major:10 minor:63.

Yay :)  Will have to test when I get home to see if the commands work, as I 
left the drive behind this morning.

The script isn't in the rpm that's installed, which is weird.
rpm -ql device-mapper
/lib/libdevmapper.so.1.00
/sbin/dmsetup
/usr/include/libdevmapper.h
/usr/lib/libdevmapper.so
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-1.00.07
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-1.00.07/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-1.00.07/COPYING.LIB
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-1.00.07/README
/usr/share/doc/device-mapper-1.00.07/VERSION
/usr/share/man/man8/dmsetup.8.gz

Thanks!
