I am trying to use 12x37Gig UDMA disks off 3 Promise/Ultra-66 ide
controlers providing 6 ide chains. However, MAKEDEV will only create
devices hd[a-l] --- I need in addition devices hd[m-p]. I looked in the
MAKEDEV script, and can see two places where I can extend the devices to
inlude these, but am stumped whith the lines
...
...
major=`Major ide4 56`
major=`Major ide5 57`
For ide6 and ide7, how do I determine the Major numbers?
Any help appreciated.
