Done in compat (cf. mail from herbert).

Just checked the root.bin from compat in boot-floppy-3.0.11. The device
isn't
there.

That's what I got on a running PowerEdge :
$ ls -lisa /dev/afa*
  17450    0 crw-------    1 root     root     254,   0 Mar 17 17:17
/dev/afa0
  17451    0 crw-------    1 root     root     254,   1 Mar 17 20:47
/dev/afa1

And in attachement is the MAKEDEV.afa from RH/Dell.

Thank's,
