Hi all,
Thanks Oliver. The tip worked.
I had actually tried making pass4 before but it didn't work (sort of). Like
a dope, I forgot about the whole indexing stuff (0=1, 1=2, etc). So when I ran
sh MAKEDEV pass4, pass3 kept getting recreated. Finally it dawned on me and I
just did MAKEDEV pass5. Voila! There was the pass4 device.
Everything is working like a champ now.
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Donald
