Thats funny.  My system uses c0d0p1.  This is what I see on my box.

    [andersen@www andersen]$ mount
    /dev/hda3 on / type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro,errors=remount-ro)
    proc on /proc type proc (rw)
    devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
    /dev/hda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw)
    /dev/rd/c0d0p1 on /home type ext2 (rw,errors=remount-ro)

    Partition check:

This is stock 2.2.13.  Also /dev/MAKEDEV supplied by debian uses
    makedev rd/c${unit}d${ld}p$part b $major $minor $disk
so the /dev special files match up just fine...  Are you sure
about the c0d01 plan?
