Hmm - I'll try that one, although I don't have anything like that in
/dev ...
I got 2.6.0-test10 to finally boot fully by adding the devices i needed
to /etc/devfs/devices.d/
Otherwise, the only device created (with regards to /dev/rd) was
/dev/rd/host0/targetx/ (x being 0-31)
...interesting... now that i look at it, target0 is a dir with disc0,
psrt1, and part2 under it, with the correct major/minor numbers. And
target1 also has the proper devices under it. Well, I never saw
anything like that in any documentation...I thought I RTFM!

p.s. - BTW, I ran into a compiler error when I tried test11 - I can't
remember the eact error.
