ide0..ide5
The ide count is 0 based. Major number is that of the ide controller.
Minor is that of the 'right' partition.
ide4 master is 56,0 (hdi) and ide4 slave is 56,64 (hdj) my notation is
major/minor so
mknod hdi b 56 0
mknod hdj b 56 64
Would get you the correct entries. Partitions are +1 so hdi1 is
mknod hdi1 b 56 1
mknod hdi2 b 56 2
And for hdj
mknod hdj1 b 56 65
mknod hdj2 b 56 66
That is assuming the major number you quoted below is correct :)
