[comp.unix.xenix] mknod /dev/fd1135ds18

wrp@biochsn.acc.Virginia.EDU (William R. Pearson) (10/13/89)

	Several people have suggested that I need to have a /dev/fd1135ds18
to use my 1.44 Mbyte 3.5" floppy.  It has also been suggested that I can
use mknod to do this, but I need to know the appropriate minor device
number.  Could someone tell me what the minor device numbers are for
/dev/fd1135ds9 and /dev/fd1135ds18?  The major device is 2.  You can
get the number by typing ls -l /dev/fd1135ds9 ( or ds 18).

	Is this all that I need to know?

Here are the minor device numbers:
crw-rw-rw-   1 bin      bin        2, 61 Aug 15 16:17 /dev/rfd1135ds18

The easiest method of adding the proper device files is using the "fixperm"
utility -- "fixperm -c -d FD135 /etc/perms/rts".
